Jerusalem

I hate when the Palestinian problem is reduced to Jerusalem. Don't get me wrong: the Israeli behavior in Jerusalem since 1929 has been nothing short of racist, religious supermacist, colonialist, and savagely insensitive to other faiths, and to secular Jews. But the Israeli attacks on the Palestinian people should be seen as more outrageous than the provocative and unjust Israeli policies and actions in Jerusalem. In fact, I am of the opinion that once Palestine is liberated, Jerusalem should be made into an international city (the old position of the Vatican, and even Herzl, believe it or not) open to religious nuts from all faiths.
