It is geographical: a division of territory and a separation of homelands that involves painful but conceivable compromises on both sides. Jerusalem will be divided, Palestinian refugees will not return to their ancestral homes, and Jewish settlements in the West Bank will, like their Gaza counterparts, be dismantled or (inconceivably) left to fend for themselves.
但是巴以冲突还是有一个解决办法。这一办法是地理上的，也就是分割领土，这需要双方都做出痛苦但是可行的妥协。分割耶路撒冷，巴勒斯坦难民并不返回古代家园，而西岸地带的犹太人定居点将会像加沙地带那样拆除或者(难以想像地)自我防卫。
