"What's the problem with establishing a Palestinian state with a divided Jerusalem as the capital of both Palestine and Israel?"

Very simple. As foolish and self-destructive as Israel has lately become, it will never give up Jerusalem. Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, period. Go ask the Almighty.

And a Palestinian state already exists: it is called Jordan, and it--and only it--is the true "Palestinian homeland."

Other than that, no problem at all.

Yes, I remember, back in grammar school, when Israel was established, the nation of Israel was on the west side of the Jordan River and the nation of Trans-Jordan was on the east side. The next thing I knew, Trans-Jordan had spread across the river and changed its name to Jordan. How did this happen? I've always wondered.
