That would be the analogy I would use to describe it.
I guess "they" should have just cut the Jews a cheque after WWII and called it a day.

If I'm not mistaken, there were already Jews living throughout the area for thousands of years and also to the point when the partitian happened. Trying to figure out who had more right to the land - black and white - is probably a losing game.

Withdrawing to the 1947 boundaries in exchange for peace is probably what will happen in the end . . . . and probably within five to ten years.

But the thing that might never be settled is what to do with Jeruseleum . . . unless all sides declare it an open city. That could be the deal breaker and certainly the place where Israeli's will do the most crying.
