Talkback
Title:Not sure where you are going with this.

City: State:
Are you implying that Moslems are to be banned from Jerusalem?
Why do you exxagerate or twist things?
All religions are respected in Jerusalem, and Arabs and Moslems have a thriving presence there..
If Jerusalem is to remain undivided and under the Israeli flag, so be it.

This refugee story is very old, and there is no turning back the clock. Neither for the Jews who were thrown out of Arab countries nor for the Palestinians from Jaffa as you say.

What Netanyahu has proposed is a good start and reflects the reality on the ground.
The reality is that there are too many on the Palestinians who want to see Israel disappear. So, the pragmatic side says that initaally, if a Pal state is to be, they must not have a standing army that may be deployed against Israelis.
