It strikes me that physical space is also a big problem with regard to "making room" for all the different people, with different ideas, whom wish to occupy the same basic space in that part of the world. It would be fascinating to see "islands", similar to the new airport facility in Tokyo, created along the coastline of Israel; resulting in additional quality space for growth for "everyone". With adequate planning, to incorporate many needs (tourism, farming, recreation, housing, shopping, light industry, education, health and civil services, port facilities, etc., etc.) and avoid overcrowding - it would be interesting to see the existing mainland areas begin rebuilding both infrastructure and attitudes to equate themselves to the new "island-models". Macro-kibbutz's-on-the-sea, (no ethnic ownership inferred) so to speak; leading to the rebuilding of the whole area! My premise is that building new environments for opportunities promotes the creative drive in almost everybody. For the exception, whom has no creative urge, at least pleasant, healthy surroundings reduce the general level of tension. If people have well-lit streets with sidewalks, and clean, comfortable places to live, work, and improve themselves - they have a whole lot less time to get into a snit over philosophical BS that leads to bomb making and shooting holes in the atmospheric strata! Idle hands are evil's playground, regardless of what religion or philosophy someone has. BUILD SOMETHING (i.e. INFRASTUCTURE) - make a better place for everybody! Happy babies with full bellies = happy Mommies = happy Daddies = better stuff for everybody! People are people are people; a baby playing with a ball on a (clean) living room floor, giggling up a storm - makes everybody laugh. It's very difficult to aim, when you're laughing! If you can't "BUILD", carry a brick, if that's too heavy, pick up a paintbrush, if that's a challenge - make sandwiches or pass out napkins; whatever it takes! What exists now isn't working.....
