Seems like you forgot that Jews basically are the richest ethnic group in the USA, the most powerful nation in the world.
They won't let Palestine get away with something of this magnitude.
All the Christians and pro-Christians will never allow any other nation to occupy Jerusalem.
Their emotion of anger will be enough to persuade Christian nations to rally against the whole of Islam. And that will be an ugly sight.
A WW3 against Palestine will probably ensue. Palestinians will suffer a terrible fate.

The only solution, as I've said a gazillion times, is a classless, fully automatized infrastructure that is self-sufficient in its autonomy.
So basically a robotic earth where humans are useless, sounds like the beginning of the matrix.

There will be no peace until we eradicate ALL belief systems, or learn to accept that there is NO God/Heaven/Nirvana/etc.The root causes for ALL wars are religion and money.
The root of all war is Human Nature.

So, you would get rid of the one thing that gave us an evolutionary advantage. I am afraid that you would doom our species.

It's our intelligence.
Religion and money are, in fact, deterrents hampering advancements in man's quest for knowledge.
There is a price for knowledge. Because of man's greed, they built institutions and took advantage of knowledge to accumulate wealth (hence educational institutions that give the privilege only for people who can afford for that knowledge).
If knowledge was a free-for-all, these fairytale myths about gods and salvation wouldn't exist.

But the only reason I'd think they'd do so would be either to cause terror or to counter it. We police, protect, and take care of ourselves or our direct inner circle in this newer, braver world.
Palestine would cease to exist, obviously. Though it has to be added that mere premise of this thread is highly implausible, not to mention that getting your hands on a WMD is one thing, and having the necessary know-how and tools to safely and properly handle said WMD, along with deploying capability, all the while avoiding Mossad surveillance(something which the Hamas have spectacularly failed at for the last few decades), is something else.

I disagree, it was religion the brought people together into cities. And as far as silly beliefs, only the future can tell what silly things we believing now. Electrons and singularities could be just as much fantasy as "fairytale myths about gods and salvation".

I'm a religious person. I am a Buddhist, and the thought of some 'idiot' wanting to get rid of my religion is disturbing. I may disagree with your beliefs, but that's as far as I go.

I just posted my worldview based on the facts that I have observed within the scope of my perception.

Can you prove that?
Because as I recall the Neolithic Revolution and the agriculture it brought our species led to the first "cities" being built, allowing more people to live together in communities.
Religion has been used as a tool to inspire community among civilizations that already exist and I personally have no issues with the religious, but don't pretend it is imperative for religion to exist.
Oh, it's also not our sole evolutionary advantage. Our ability to walk for nigh-endless periods of time is. 👆
