Loving the wishlist request and making the most of it. Perhaps a wider setting to the story would be great.

1. Historically, the influence of religions on politics is evident, especially from the 1800s Christian missionaries and colonization to the recent 70s and 80s in Northern Africa, with the rise of anti-American Islamic movements - there are traces of resurgence in liberal Muslim countries enforcing nationwide Palestine peace agenda while demonizing Israel. Is this a global political or religious movement, or both ?

2. This period 70’s / 80s saw the emergence of more militarily oriented Islamic movements originating from Turkey to South Asia, middle east, northern Africa which eventually became liberal when referenced to a more conservative Islamic movement establishment in the 90s such as Talibans. How is Palestine divided between the right and the left ? What’s the influence of Sunni-Shia fight on Palestine ? How are the Mossads integrated into Israel?

3. American influence on global politics, particularly in Muslim countries and the oil industry, gained prominence post WW2, conquering nuclear power lead, and especially after the formation of the CIA. What's the oil agenda / nuke agenda here ? The US is not initiating peace. What’s the game plan ?

4. The BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement (Chomsky cover’s it well), has both pros and cons. Has it been effective in building world pressure and recognition ?

5. Is this a tipping point for the Palestine movement that has been growing globally over the years ?

6. Would it kill the UN, the US, and people of the world to recognise Palestine as a country ? Were the past efforts truly considered efforts? Or ostensible ?

7. Disparities in livelihood between funded and prohibited regions (Israel - Palestine) and the growth / decline seen through generations

8. Religious teachings preventing contraceptive use as a means to grow religious groups over the years, have now become a political agenda and advanced paternalistic traits. What is the impact of this on the rate of growth of population for both Israel and Palestine?

9. People globally have strong reactions with very little input nor wanting to look at both sides (sometimes I imagine them as furious cute robots emitting smoke emitting smoke out of anger) - what is the underlying psychology behind this and can be linked to early beliefs instilled by local education and media - and is this for the purpose of establishing political grounds? Similar to the concept of “communism is evil” and “Democracy is Hail Mary”.

10. The perspective of conservative Jews and liberal Jews, and the historical impact of the Holocaust on their identity

11. Why are the Jews among the richest in America and yet consider themselves the most oppressed ?

12. A less-discussed angle involving Russia's role in saving Jews during the Holocaust, being the strongest opponents to the Nazis, and their open door policies to the Jews even today is worth exploring.

I am for peace too. But people are too triggered, so I avoid having this conversation all together. Thanks LynAlden (npub1a2c…w83a). Good luck on the piece
