To what G_d himself promised Moses!
It's like the story of the Emperor's New Clothes with the little boy saying the king is naked.
There is a simple way to resolve this, done solely among the top of the Israeli leaders. It would never be released publicly, but would become quiet policy.
It is a series of “red lines” that when crossed would result in the same response, no matter who was in charge, unless all major political factions agreed to not carry out that response.
By debating and agreeing to these red lines now, when they are under less pressure, will they be able to respond effectively when they are under much greater pressure.
For example:
1) The next time a Muslim nation, as a nation, tries to invade Israel, the city of Mecca will be annihilated with a nuclear weapon, the dirtiest weapon imaginable, so it will be uninhabitable for thousands of years.
(This is a good starting point, for everyone to realize how serious these red lines should be.)
2) Next would be a red line for Gaza Palestinians, and West Bank Palestinians. An agreement that if they do ‘x’, then the Gazans will be expelled to Egypt, as a people; and the West Bankers will be expelled to Jordan. Thus there are two red lines here.
3) Another red line would be for the razing of mosques in Jerusalem and Israel. With emphasis on the al-Asqa mosque.
I don't have the answer, but I suspect that avsolution will involve considerable suffering on the part of the Palestinian people, and they will have no one to blame for it but themselves.
Not that that will stop them.

2nd thread. Were Jordan willing to grant citizenship, or Syria, Lebanon or Egypt when controlling Gaza, the "refugee problem" would have ended a half century ago. And I can't blame the King, the palestinians killed grandpa and tried to kill pop. He knows what he's dealing with.
