A Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish or Muslim state cannot be a democracy. Those who do not belong to the religion on which the state is based are second-class citizens. Israel can either be a Jewish state or a democracy. It cannot be both. That is the reality that must be faced if there is to be peace.

No matter how it is ground up, the Palestinians want a state based on
Jerusalem with no Jews, from the sea to the river.
Israel's existence is not acceptable.
That is the minimum stipulation.
So how do you negotiate that ?

architects of their own destruction
What else is new ?

Possibly, all inhabitants in the area could replace religion by reason.

Yup!

This is song, is not for pre-school children hyped up on red food colouring, but for all Chinese citizens and promoted by the Chinese state media, aka the Chinese Communist Party:

“China has produced a Big Daddy Xi,
No tiger is too big for him to fight.
He fears neither heaven nor earth,
Dreamers all look to him!
China also has Mama Peng,
Gift her flowers beautiful and fresh.
Protect her, and bless her,
Rise up family, rise up country, rise
up Chinese empire.”

Read that - I don’t recommend trying to sing it - and still tell yourself that we should be dealing with people who put out such crapola.
