No one ever wants to try it, but I say instead of the US giving Israel money for military aid we instead give Jordan money to host the world's largest fried chicken festival, everyone loves fried chicken. We get Israel and Palestine empty and we give them all "I ❤️ NY" shirts so no one knows where anyone else is from. While they're all gone we completely fucking glass the "holy land." Nuke it all so no one can live there for 200+ years.
Maybe by then the people that exist as Israeli and Palestinians can stop with their religious war bullshit over a plot of land and maybe just get on with living a "good" life.
Not long enough.
Conflict in the area has been going on for anywhere between 4000 and 200,000 years (lower paleolithic). Since the invention of writing, people of different origins have been able to transmit their religious claims to the region for thousands of years.
200 years would barely put a dent on it.
