Het is een bekende mythe: iedereen weet hoe vrede tussen Israel en de Palestijnen eruit moet zien, en een meerderheid aan beide kanten steunt dit ook: twee staten op basis van de wapenstilstandslijnen van 1949, met de Arabische wijken in Oost Jeruzalem voor de Palestijnen en West Jeruzalem voor Israel, en geen recht op terugkeer van de nakomelingen van de vluchtelingen. De realiteit is een andere,...
