To all the people saying there isn't an easy solution: you are wrong, the solution is actually very easy, easier than most international problems. It's the solution the entire political world has been willing to get behind for 50 years or so. If I remember correctly it's that Israel return to its 1967 borders and get rid of its nuclear weapons. Every couple years the UN votes on this, the results are always like 230 to 2. The whole world agrees, except for Israel and the US, and the US vetoes it every time.
Imagine getting 99% of the world to agree to something, and thinking the problem is too complicated to solve.
I don't think that would satisfy the people who want Israel to go back to it's 1947 boundaries though.
Yes and it also, obviously, wouldnt satisfy those who want Israel to control the whole area. And there would still be conflict that would have to be resolved from decades of violence on both sides. But it is an easy first step that the international community could enforce and it would start dialing down tensions. But because of my country (US), the world is never allowed to take that step.
