One idea for peace would be to make Jerusalem the first United Nations territory or city of or for Peace.
Religion is about peace but the source of many religions, Jerusalem, has been used as an engine of War between these religions for centuries.
I think I saw it best described in the movie Kingdom of Heaven when one of the actors said "it's nothing and everything".
By making it a United Nations territory or city it would not be yours or theirs but everyone’s. North America, Asia, Africa, Europe, Middle East, Indonesia, and South America's.
In other words we would be using what has been an engine or source of war and division into an engine and source of peace, communication, and understanding. This is what religion is really supposed to be about and I think this is the way we should start using this city, a first of its kind city for peace.
Given the fact that the Palestinians and Israelis are heavily involved their participation in this process would be key as well.
