I agree with you that politics is compromise. So given that:

Israel perpetrated an ethnic cleansing in 1948.

Israel illegally occupied Palestinian territory for decades, enforced apartheid, committed innumerable war crimes, murdered enormous amounts of civilians through the decades and caused total destruction of Gaza as well as many West Bank villages.

Never recognised Palestine even after Palestine recognised Israel (in 1998) and maneuvered to prevent its creation.

Given this and more, I would start by asking at least 120% of the territory back plus substantial reparations.

As for what Israel can achieve politically- I don't think you understand. You will never get anything via political negotiations because Israel has zero interest in giving up anything. The entire "peace process" has always been a farce, used to grant Israel more time to grab what it wants. The only way you're going to get anything is by exercising a substantial force, either economically (crippling sanctions) or via direct military intervention. If you keep treating Israel as a friend or an ally you'll never get anything out if it. Israel is an enemy.
