The Palestinians would have to give up the "Right of return" as well as having a country just for them.

I think you have a good point, except for thinking that Israel has a 'democratic jewish nation' when in fact many different types of people live in Israel.
Why can't everyone be under the same rule? Isn't the population of Israel 20% Arab? Obviously that shows they can live in peace. Perhaps that is the problem. One side quite obviously doesn't want peace regardless of the conditions.
