The Future for Negotiations?

One thing for sure that everyone can agree on is that this is not an easy conflict.  There are so many points of view and a long list of travesties endured by both sides.  However, something has to be done, and I think there is a way.  What really stood out to me from the Naomi Chazan article, is how, right now people are willing to misunderstand each other.  In order for negotiations to really take hold and make headway is for each side to come to the table willing to understand each other.   There are people on both sides who want to be able to live in peace.
We are asked to think outside the box for a solution to this issue, and my idea is based off the notion of what is a sate, as well as a name?

People are constantly fighting over places, borders, and what to call each thing.  What if the solution lies in how people are able to refer to the areas in question.  Let the Israelis call the land Israel, let the Palestinians call the land Palestine, and take down the walls that are separating the two.  Does the land disappear if people call it by two, or three different names?  Jerusalem has at least three names, so why not the whole area?  It would be a lot to fit onto a map, but already we have maps that show the area as the publisher wants the reader to see the borders.  I am not sure what this will mean for government.  But something could be set up through a system of checks and balances so that the different groups within the region are required to work together to keep the state running.

Maybe through this people can get along, but again, as with any solution, requires people to respect each other.  This defiantly a hard question to tackle, and in some ways it is very hard to think outside the box since the box is what we know and have grown up accepting.
