Palestinians should give up the "right of return".  In return, Israel should dismantle most of its settlements in the West Bank, so that Palestine can have a decent, contiguous amount of territory.

This seems to be the primary obstacle on each side.

Should Germany insist on a "right of return" for those people expelled from the Recovered Territories east of the Oder-Neisse?  That's the most analogous situation here.

Why would any German in their right mind demand the "right" to "return" to Russia or Eastern Europe?

The difference is that the Germans were relocating to a country that was more prosperous and developed than the one they left and were given a lot of help in integrating into that society. The Palestinians were driven into Jordan and Syria, countries with lower development indicators than Israel, and given no assistance beyond sticking them in tents in the desert.

So it is somehow Israel's fault that the Arab nations were less accommodating to their expelled brethren than Germany was to theirs, so that they could continue to be used as political pawns? (Granted Israel and the USSR both bear responsibility for the initial expulsions)
