I did not say I thought there was a solution. Israel is just too handy a target and anti-Semitism ( oh, the irony ) is too delicious a plum for "leaders" in the region. The original Caliphate took a handful of geniuses to construct, with Suleiman, Saladin and Mehmet chief among them. Let us hope such men rise there now. Ottoman history knows that Suleiman formally denounced blood libel against the Jews and that Christians were relatively well-treated.
