Simple Middle East Peace Solutions

  1. - for every child killed in Israel and Palestine a holy site should be bulldozed and put through a pulverizer, then mixed with nuclear waste so not even relics can be accessed for a few million years; the recent atheistic and other critics of the 3 great monotheistic religions have a point.
  2. - if another 100 children die. Jerusalem should become a much needed international nuclear wasted dump and Israelis and Palestinians should spend at least 40 years relocated to the Sinai desert in tent cities, until a new generation demonstrates it understands that a child's life is worth more than a holy site.
  3. - secular socialists and other Israeli and Arab leftists (there was a recent meeting of Israeli Arab leftists) should be granted at least the equivalent of the billions in money and support poured into Islamic groups like the mujhadeen in Afghanistan for strategic Realpolitik reasons during the cold war. The secular non-theistic strain in the Middle East must be rebuilt,
  4. As a matter of fairness, the same rule should apply elsewhere such as in India and Sri Lanka, even though some of the parties are not strictly monotheists. Maybe the atheists have it right: all religion is primarily a destructive force when you tally up history.
