It would take about a generation before things finally calmed down. There must be justice for the refugees as well, whose right of return is spelled out in UN resolution 194, part 11.

When there is justice, there can be peace. Israel has yet to learn this lesson when it comes to their dealings with the Palestinians, despite their ongoing efforts to seek justice for the Holocaust – a supreme irony.

Give it a decade, and chances are that you’ll have two states where extremism has been pushed to the fringes and
the very idea of starting the conflict up again horrifies the vast majority of their populations. People who’ve been given a way out of an existentialy horrible situation and achieved something better tend to be pathologicaly disinclined to put themselves in that situation again.

But that’s not going to happen until that same ‘someone’ makes ending the Israeli Occupation of what will become the nation of Palestine the starting point of any peace deal, rather than something that ‘might’ occur if the Palestinians stop resisting the Occupation long enough for Israelis stop feeling threatened.

The situation that exists now just puts extremists on both sides in the driving seat, which shouldn’t be a good thing in anyone’s book. The fact that neo-conservatives have made achieving this state of existential horror a cornerstone of their foreign policy strategy just puts them safely and securely in the ‘extremist ‘ camp.
