Then of course if they did get East Jerusalem they would almost certainly want more because it wasn't enough for them prior to the 6 day war, so why would it be enough now? Instead of agreeing to peace and accepting what they have now, they will likely continue to lose more and more lives and likely territory.

And that's really too bad because the best case for them is accepting what land they have right now. Israel will never give up any of it's land because it already knows eventually it will lead to more fighting, so what's the point.
I saw a graphic here on GFY about how "Israel is trying to take Arab land", and it looked like everything was "brab" and Israel only wanted a little tiny slice of it. The truth is none of this is "Arab land". It's fucking land. It belongs to what ever country currently occupies it, not what ever country it belonged to one hundred years ago. Land changes ownership and possession is nine tenths of the law.
What's going to happen thirty years from now when the entire world runs on electric cars and no one needs oil? Man, these fuckers are gonna be pissed off.
