Well, to be fair to the polarizers, first we become polarized before we become unified. To be genuinely unified, one must first have a clear understanding of what is dividing people. Once that is understood, it is possible to do the work of bringing people together.

If only the Israelis could finally figure that one out, they could readily (not easily yet, but that too will come) co-exist with a Palestinian state without fearing for their personal safety in their homeland.
