If that's the problem there is an easy solution.
Clear out the people and wipe jeruselum off the map then it won't matter which direction people's bum's point towards while they pray.
That is the most hideous argument I think I've ever seen about the conflict. Better still ban the ridiculous habit of prayer stops altogether and learn how to live in the civilized modern world. The next best thing to do would be burn all the stupid costumes both sides wear until they accept that we're all the same species underneath the garb and that there is an alternative to the greedy winner takes all approach.

You're on my wavelength Karli.
Frankly I've had enough of all this teet for tat nonense. It's like that song from the eighties "People are people so why should it be, that you and I should get along so AWFULLY"
Not one of us has more right to that land in the middle east than anyone else. Whats stopping me (apart from the fact that I'd be seen as a crazy nutter lol) from going over there telling them all that the messiah has arrived (in me) and imma spank all'a your asses if you dont stop all the pointless fighting 😛

The Victorian missionaries tried that in Africa. Unfortunately forcing the "Natives" to wear European costume didn't turn them into obedient little Pseudo-Europeans

Check out the video below for confirmation of this view from a humanitarian doctor who could in no way be described as a communist or a communist sympathiser. Just an objective observer who refuses to be cowed by the weight of the imperialist propaganda offensive about ‘Hamas violence’.
“This is not a battle between terrorism and democracy. Hamas is not the enemy Israel is fighting. Israel is fighting a war against the Palestinian people’s will to resist. The unbending determination not to submit to the occupation!
“It is the Palestinian people’s dignity and humanity that will not accept that they are treated as third-, fourth, fifth-ranking people.
“In 1938, the Nazis called the jews ‘untermensch’, subhuman. Today, Palestinians in the West Bank, in Gaza, in the diaspora are treated as untermensch — as subhumans who can be bombed, killed, slaughtered by the thousands — without any of those in power reacting …
“It’s stated in international law. You are permitted to fight the occupier, even with weapons …
“Nobody wants to be oppressed! Nobody wants to be occupied! Therefore it is actually rooted in international law — that an occupied nation can resist — also with armed struggle.”
– Dr Mads Gilbert of Norway, who has been serving in Al-Shifa hospital Gaza during the latest massacre

That's not what I had in mind. I was thinkin more along the lines of naked so they get over the hideous rules about the body 😄

I hear what you are saying Karli, but is it just rules about the female body, or does it also have something to do with the minds of men?

Yes, rules was a silly choice of words.
The phobias, on both sides. Strip away the protective layers of "uniform" so all men are equal.
I was thinking in terms of the men. They will never change their views about females while they are still living in the dark ages.

I agree with you totally. I mean for goodness sake let men be men and women be women. It's like they need a reformation. I think Judaism had one (someone correct me if I'm wrong) Christianity definately had one, Islam seems to have skipped the boat on it... wonder why....
