#1 Nobody seems to acknowledge that failure should have a price: lose a war, get your land back; make mortgage loans to poor risks, get bailed out; borrow to buy a house you can't afford, get to keep the house anyway; fail your school exams, get 'curved up' to pass; etc.
Subsidize what you want more of and tax what you want less of - I guess we want more wars and more welfare (corporate and individual) and less productivity and investment.

#2 A fully sovereign Palestinian state can be had but NOT within Israel's borders. As for Jerusalem and the right of return, maybe they should clarify immigation policy so they don't have the same mess anchor babies cause. You can return to Israel, and Jerusalem, only if you were born there after '67, but must agree to live side-by-side as an Arab-Israeli, as Israel will not relinquish its sovereignty, either. If you were born in the camps in Lebanon, Jordan, Syria or elsewhere, than a sovereign Palestinian homeland carved out of Arab lands can be had, if the Muslims want to work and build it themselves. These endless unreasonable demands are getting mighty annoying. A complete ceasefire in the West Bank and Gaza by removing all Hamas and like-minded Palestinians should maybe be permanently arranged, with deniability, of course.

#3 In 1967 there was no Palestine. The territory was occupied and controlled by other Arab/Egyptian sovereign states who were not interested in giving it up less so than the contemporary Israelis. They only acknowledged the existence of any entity of Palestine after they knew they weren't getting it back. Selling something they didn't own. It's like Mexico trading New Mexico, Arizona and California to Russia today.
