Ehud Olmert: "No peace without dividing Jerusalem".

Jerusalem should be an independent territory - something like the Vatican on security-steroids, IMHO.

thats what Olmert is suggesting for the Old City. Give West Jerusalem to the Jews, most of East Jerusalem to the Arabs, and make the walled city a seperate entity.
 
Well, I would go for Pat Condells solution as well:

"Jerusalem, of course, is a sacred city to all three dogmas of the children of Abraham which, frankly, is the best argument I've heard for bulldozing the place and pushing all the rubble into the sea and sowing salt in the ground, so that nothing will grow there ... for a thousand years":



:p
 
Great idea,

The only disadvantage would be that you'd have to cross a border to get to that good Lebanese restaurant in the Arab section. Bit a barrier for commerce and tourism.

Also there should be a separate section for the extra nutty orthodox Jews so they don't bother anyone with their religious laws.

ETA: this in response to dividing the place up, not to Pat Condell's idea of making it Carthage.
What shame that would be. Jerusalem is such a cool looking place.

ETA2: I'd like to take the opportunity to again recommend Lebanese cuisine. It's really very good.

Oliver,

I don't know how to say this, so I'm just going to say it:
I find your avatar strangely arousing.:p

I wouldn't bother if the Vatican moves to the "Holy Land" as well so the three religions are forced to get along under a shared administration in Jerusalem. That could be a real advantage for tolerance between the three holy nuts.

Well, then I hope you don't feel the same way about my male nick-/forename. :p
