Make it an offence for parents, who are already brainwashed to believe the religious nonsense, to brainwash their kids.  This would break the cycle of belief in these ancient stories.

The Soviet Union tried that. Religion is the opium of the people. Remember that?

   Scare tactics ,

Trying to make people afraid of Muslim immigrants and so turn against Israel .

*Save Europe from a Muslim invasion by opposing Israel* 

Desperation right there 

Traumatized immigration from any country can be problematic, and here is a great source of waves with Palestinian emigrants 

 

 

Since the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, Palestinians have experienced several waves of exile and have spread into different host countries around the world.^[6] In addition to the more than 700,000 Palestinian refugees of 1948, hundreds of thousands were also displaced in the 1967 Six-Day War. In fact, after 1967, a number of young Palestinian men were encouraged to migrate to South America.^[7] Together, these 1948 and 1967 refugees make up the majority of the Palestinian diaspora.^[6][8] Besides those displaced by war, others have emigrated overseas for various reasons such as work opportunity, education^[9][10] and religious persecution.^[8] In the decade following the 1967 war, for example, an average of 21,000 Palestinians per year were forced out of Israeli-controlled areas.^[11] The pattern of Palestinian flight continued during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s

The 1946 Anglo-American Committee and the missed opportunity for a democratic Palestine
Was another Palestine possible in 1946, two years before the Nakba? The Anglo-American Committee was a missed chance which resonates today, writes Lori Allen.

Seventy-eight years ago, on 20 April 1946, six American and six British investigators issued a report on the Palestine “problem” and the fate of Europe’s Jews. Until then, there was still a chance at some kind of peaceful future in Palestine.

Those chances seem so far away right now. But maybe we can learn from the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry and see the openings present today with fresh eyes, before they vanish, too.
