To resolve it? Are people coming here thinking that they will solve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict with their posts?
Ok, let me try then, maybe it works:
Israel ought to
- grant Palestinians access to Holy Esplanade
- halt evictions of families in East Jerusalem
- denounce violence & incendiary hate speech
- reduce ethnic incitement
Palestinians ought to
- halt stone-throwing & other violence
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
