        Yeah they were pure evil for that. I don’t know if evil is strong enough a word for causing generations of pain and conflict on purpose.

    Everybody timeshares and moves regions, i.e. one region will be Western Christian on Mondays, Orthodox Christian on Tuesdays, Jewish on Wednesday to Thursday, Muslim Friday to Saturday (alternating between Shia and Sunni), with Sunday for minority groups not counted here.

    Except for Jerusalem, which will be managed by the Scientologists.

    Always blaming other people; the states that were created after the colonialism period had plenty of time, plenty of time to lay down their arms and give up any power to reform the shape of map however they felt represented each tribe best, but they haven’t, have they? People are so addicted to authority but feel so guilty about wielding it, that they always need some percieved outward antagonizer in order to feel legitimized in executing that selfsame authority
