700+ years of warfare between the Irish and the English say no.

How about Belgium and the Nederlands?
Your travel has nothing to do with it. Just curious if you have any firsthand knowledge of the actual situation on the ground. You don't.

I said nothing of political or military union, I talked about their economies. Israelis need markets for their products. Jordanian farmers need more places to sell their crops. Palestinians need jobs. They all get their water from the Jordan river. But above all these 3 countries in particular need TOURISM DOLLARS from North America and Europe, that is why in order for there to ever be lasting peace between Israel and its neighbors Israel cannot afford to isolate itself.

You need to read more, study more and travel more before you make claims of knowing what kind of solutions are feasible in the conflict.
