Not really.
Lenin/Stalin/Pol Pot/Mao et al. were very successful at getting parts of their population to hate those they had never met eg. Kulaks, educated etc. without needing to use religion.
An identifiable other is all that is required and then propaganda. Religion is a common way but by no...
There is just so much hatred in that part of the world that I would despair of anyone wanting to live in peace with each other.
I can understand reluctance to return to some areas.
Reading about that rail line reminds me that the same mob who developed that must have developed the Suburban Rail Loop project in Melbourne, Victoria.
A poorly conceived, business case that will never stack up, too long in wrong place, too expensive etc.
The Edifice Complex is alive and well.
I do hope any right of return includes the 100s thousands of Jews who were forced out of their homes from the Atlantic Ocean to Pakistan. That cannot be racist now, can it?
