    Since the area is important for all three religions… christians, muslims, and jews… I propose that the entire fucking area be sectioned off and now no one is allowed to live there except God himself… since it’s such Holy Land, then let God live there… everybody else can go visit but they’re not allowed to fucking stay there anymore… if people can’t agree, then no one gets it, and it’s God’s land now. How’s that for a damn solution.
