I beg to differ. Here’s a thought experiment to prove my point: Two hundred years from now, the situation in the Middle East will unquestionably be radically different. There could be two states, a single bi-national state, or a...

Here’s a thought experiment that can help elucidate the core one. What is the one factor that, if eliminated, will make the conflict significantly easier to resolve? None of the often-discussed issues, if solved on its own, will end the conflict....

Here’s an example and some food for thought: Why did a war break out in the Gaza Strip in October 2023? The Hamas attacks of October 7th. That’s where Israelis would prefer...

Look around you. What do you see? Depending on your whereabouts, you may see hills, trees, fields, buildings, or people. Almost everyone around you is religious, whether or not it is evident from the way they dress, talk, or associate. Now imagine that all these people...

It would not be the first time this happens, of course, but let’s imagine it taking place in the twenty-first century. What if Italy, for example, decided that the entire Campania region – with Naples...

While I can’t anticipate every single objection, here are some preemptive replies to potential pushback. “All in all, religion does more good than harm.” I’m not sure how to measure the amount of goodness religion brings to the world and...

Organized religion got everyone used to giving them the reins and paying them money in various ways, but that’s no more an obligation than spitting when a black cat crosses your path. It is easier said than done for those living...

Protests hardly make a dent, and other forms of nonviolent resistance are largely ineffective as well. For those living in the region, civil or uncivil disobedience doesn’t do much. Middle Eastern governments are known for their forceful suppression... The post What Can You Do About the Israeli-Palestinian…
