Children's book author Sam Jam, from Sri Lanka, asked Chinese children about the principles they would use to solve an argument over a piece of land. The results were wonderfully thought-provoking. Special thanks to Seung Yee for agreeing to be recorded.

"How A Child Solved The Middle East Problem."
1) If you both want the same thing, you have to SHARE.
2) Even if the other person won't share, you still can't hit him.
3) If the other person hits you, hitting him back will just make it worse.
4) Sitting on something that belongs to someone else does not make it yours.
5) If something can't be shared, then you have to take turns with it.
6) Saying "It's mine now" doesn't mean it's yours forever.
7) Saying "I got it first" doesn't mean you'll have it last.
8) If you can't sort it out yourselves, ask a teacher for help.
9) When the teacher says something, you have to do it even if you don't feel like it.
10) If you really want to stop the other person being an enemy, give him some candy.

  • @AntiZionistFilms Sadly, the UN is biast against Israel, and the conflict is more than a minor land dispute, it is also a product of hatered of the Palestinians and other Arabs against Israel.if it was just a land dispute, peace would've been made long ago.

  • But what if one student is more interested i killing the other student, and that student is supported by a corrupt teacher, who is biast against the other student, and in some cases wants him dead. (The student is Palestine and the teacher is the UN, in case you didn't get it)

    This is very much what could've been done if the situation was a mere land dispute, but it isn't.

  • Good video, sadly Israel doesnt abide by UN rules or any other rules

  • think out of the box. nice! haha

  • Give him some candy! 

  • Amazing. Just amazing, sir.

    Thank you for this! :D
