I don't suppose it will be universally popular but lets see if we can move beyond this interminable thrust and counter thrust:
I suggest that Israel goes into the Gaza strip with totally and utterly overwhelming military force. It sets up bases for a period of time of say three years. After that time it agrees to leave unilaterally and aims to leave behind a fully functioning viable Gazan state.
At the same time professional volunteers from all over the world are invited in to help rebuild Gaza. The people see these civilians, the electricians, plumbers, builders etc from various other countries not as invaders and settlers but as being there to help them. If their safety cqannot be guaranteed we know who to blameand we move to plan B.
After three years or whatever period it takes to rebuild Israel withdraws. If at the same time they can do something similar with the West Bank and a functional viable nation can be built within Palestine away we go.
Okay. Here's the undoubtedly controversial part. If this cannot be done. If Israel does this and then once again returns to being subject to a terror campaign then it's on to plan B. Everybody out. Gaza. West Bank. Any existing Palestinian territory and every civilian is resettled into Arabian neighbouring countries. Let their Islamic brothers throw their arms wide for them. There's plenty of room. Who knows they may even allow them to live in the hundreds of thousands of houses which the Jews were thrown out of when they were expelled from these countries.
Of course there would then need to be a financial compensation package arranged. Something which wasn't done to compensate the Jews when they were kicked out of the various Arab countries within living memory but let Israel go the extra mile for a peaceful solution.
Or we can carry on like The Three Stooges.

Problem is you are dealing with lots of people in Gaza who have seen their children/parents/wife/husband/lover/friends blown apart.
I imagine they are not thinking very logically, and may want some sort of revenge. Remember the day after Bloody Sunday, there were huge queues of people wanting to sign up to the IRA. That after the death of 14 people. Lot more than 14 people killed in Gaza. |

neither lot deserve to occupy Jerusalem
Im not religious but I find it very hard to believe a god of either side would have meant for stupid fallible humans to have acted like either of em do. The world should shift them all out to some remote point of earth and nobody reside in the 'holy land' |

I'd give the Israeli's a corner of Texas...there they could live in peace and harmony with their benefactors.
