Roots of the Jewish vs Arab conflict are deep.

Branches at Abraham.

Perspective from that point is polarized.

One side to modern transition, the other side always focused on the perceived crimes of the past.

This should be forward focused. Some “get it” others never will and will die very unhappy, consumed by hate and prejudice.

Conversion to Judaism was always possible to an Arab, though it is a more difficult path than marriage, but as this link shows,intermarriage and the non-Jewish spouse adopting Judaism was not unusual in ancient times:

“According to the Talmud (e.g. Yevamot 46b), conversion, the rabbis surmised from what they read in the Book of Ruth, involved three stages: circumcision (in males), immersion in a mikveh ritual bath, and sacrificing at the Temple. Some rabbis added the injunction to “know the law” (Yevamot 47a).

It is still possible for any non-Jew to go through the study process today for conversion, though it sometimes takes a special Rabbi who nearly mystically thinks it was intended for you all along, to accept you into that study.

Then we have this:

There is always hope.
