DP #10: Israel vs. Palestine
Jesus would resolve the problem between the Israelis and the Palestinians by equally splitting up the land and allowing cross-travel under particular circumstances only, to prevent conflict. The Parable of the Tenants might help explain this reasoning because Jesus would expect the Palestinians, like the tenants, to go after what was taken from them and to stand up for themselves, protecting their rights. The Parable of the Good Samaritan also explains the solution by proclaiming through Jesus' teaching that everyone, those who were let down and those who did the letting down, deserves a helping hand (thus leaving both the Israelis and the Palestinians with equal land). Such a solution is simple enough to work and exhibits timeless lessons taught in the parables, displaying its potential to be a lasting resolution.
