Israel gets it all--as a down payment on the massively larger debt the Palestinians owe to Israel for (say) 2000 yrs of depriving the Israelis of their land.

Have we ever determined (or can we) who "owns" the land? Both people are indigenous to the region, as far as I can tell. That's sort of why they've been fighting on and off for who-knows-how-long.

Not a lawyer, but I doubt the reparations thing will fly. Otherwise the US would have been on the hook for reparations for stealing the native lands of the "indians". We recognize the present lands (reservations) as semi-autonomous and sovereign. That doesn't count?
