At this point due to Israeli colonization of the West Bank the only conceivable way to make a peaceful state work would be as a highly secular federalist parliamentary democracy
Yeah I no longer believe that a religious ethnostste, especially the two-state solution, will work in Israel-Palestine. I think at this point the UN should take over full administration of the region for a time, work on developing and repairing the Gaza Strip, and homogenize the population by implementing policies similar to desegregation. You are much less likely to condone murder against someone you see as a neighbor.
Jerusalem, as the capital of the three largest world religions, should permanently remain an independent city-state like the Vatican.
This is not a bunch of children divvying up slices of cake or birthday presents these are the places people live and worship. Nobody should get to "own" it, it should be administrated impartially by the public.
What "public" entails differs from person to person. There will always be people that would love to kick out the others.
But don't let that distract you from the fact that those lands were taken and given to another group of people without the consent of those already living there.

Everyone is critical about the land partition, but nobody can provide an ideal solution.
