I haven't been following this thread so I'm not sure of the context of this statement. I also don't know if there have been other responses to it. I'll just add my piece here.

If the Israelis were to

1. Recognize an independant Palestinian state
2. Practice in reality full citizenship for any Palestinian who chooses to reside in Israel
3. Pay reparations to the families who (a) followed Arab advice and fled or (b) were thrown out (take your choice on what really happended) of Israel after the War of Independence
4. Eliminate the noxious security checks Palestinians are forced to endure

the result "might" (although I doubt it) be a decrease in terrorism but it would certainly not bring it to an end. I firmly believe that there are elements of the Islamic world whose goal is the elimination of the State of Israel, not the rectification of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians.
