What's the "compromise" for the Jews exactly here? They had nothing, they got half of the country.

Really, no. It forgets the illegal occupation of the West Bank, the ever expanding settlements, the unilateral and unrecognized annexation of Jerusalem, the de facto apartheid system in the Occupied Territories, the daily violence against Palestinians.
It does mention Israeli disengagement from Gaza though. Maybe other readers would be interested in knowing how many settlers were actually affected by the famous disengagement from Gaza: eight thousand. Increase in the settlers population in the West Bank since then: more than 150 thousand. Nice trick, huh?
Btw, for some reason on Quora I've found the most blatant and shameless pro-Israel propaganda, often presented with long historical perspectives that are strangely blind on some crucial details, like the one you pasted here. I wouldn't take my information from there on this subject (or actually, most subjects) to be fair.
