Possibility of Peace and Coexistence

I think that peace and coexistence is definitely a possibility for Israel and the Arab world. I feel like if genuine effort was put in, a solution and agreement could be found. However, I feel that it is highly unlikely that this will happen because the people of both sides refuse to recognize the similarities they have with the other. For instance, both are religious, although from different standpoints, yet they kill one another regardless of the fact that religion regards murder and such as a despicable crime. Both sides also have refugees that are struggling to make ends meet. In order for the conflict to change and problems to be resolved, I firmly believe it is necessary for both sides to recognize the vast number of similarities rather than focusing on the negative aspects. When people focus on the negative things in life, they self-destruct. This is exactly what's happening between Israel and the Arab world. A balance and type of peace needs to be found, and the first thing that needs to be done is for them to recognize that they shouldn't sweat the small stuff.
