The thing no one is allowed to talk about.

Here is a fellow Canuck brave enough to assess the situation in the mideast rationally:

Yes, i know, it's now anti-Semitic to have the audacity to suggest that Jews and Arabs live in and and share the land. 

On how that might be possible: 

-the roman and christian churches could issue formal apologies to the jews for past bigotries.

-at the same time Islamic populations could demand from the Imams formal reformations of that religious system that must take into account modern knowledge. 

- at the same time the Jewish people must declare that the chosen people doctrine is an immature affront to what we now know about reality. 

-at the same time neoliberal corporate structures must stop imperializing muslim lands and withdraw from those countries unless asked to stay. 

- that the Russians and Chinese must agree not to manipulate these possible moves to their geopolitical advantage.
