The religious differences are used as an excuse to point out who "they" are, but the core issue is that it's a land deal. The other twine of religion in the weave is that for the three great monotheistic religions, Islam, Judaism, and Christianity, Jerusalem is, for differing reasons, a "holy city." The suggestions that have for decades been put forward to set up Jerusalem as an international city, similar to but different from The Vatican, have fallen on deaf ears. It may truly be in the "too hard" category.

Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum
