I think that the arab world already tried that..it didn't pan out well, but it's nice to see that the dream is still alive!
Okay.
No, the Arab world threw a tantrum.
I don't call for a tantrum; I call for giving Palestinian people their rights, which got stepped on by Israel.
When it comes to religion it is not a zero sum, either/or/all or nothing/ us vs them game for me.
Just because I do not like Bibi or the current Israeli government, does not mean the Palestinians are getting their support from moderate pluralists either.
Religion WORLDWIDE causes more problems than it claims to solve. Not because all religious people are bad or evil, but because humans are tribal and have far too much of a tendency to see that which is local, and fail to see that religion is a horrible way to conduct political diplomacy, even among the same sub sects of the same umbrella labels.
A Sunni and Shiite do not agree politically for the same reason all Muslims don't agree with Jews. Just like an Obama voting Baptist will not agree politically with a Trump voting Baptist. For the same reason a Tibet Buddhist will not agree on politics with a Chinese Buddhist.
I want Palestinians and Israeli Jews and Christians and Buddhists and Hindus to all get along worldwide. I simply do not agree that viewing local or global politics through the prism of religion is the best way to seek diplomacy.
