Solving the middle east problems made easy

Franks reflecting on the Israel / Palenstine situation.

The whole middle east situation is a very complex interplay of many different things.

There are many individuals with their own beliefs and idividual psychology
There are many social groups and sub groups with their own beliefs and social psychology
There is many political, power, and money influences from within the middle east and external to the middle east that want to have their say
Its a life and death situation

This all adds up to a massively complicated mess and untangling it seems really complicated

However, theres an idea about complexity that says that simple rules that feedback on themselves can create very complex behaviour. Some would argue that the universe is an example of said complex systems. Anyways, it seems to me that their might be a simple idea that will feedback on itself to create the needed complex untangling of the mess that is the middle east.

Problem is, I don't know what that simple idea is. But! I would guess the nature of the idea will be something that utilises human kindness and promotes empathy.
