Just have everyone ditch their religion.

WORLD PEACE

Haha, just kidding. 
Then everyone will just come up with some other reason to perpetually fight.
most of the fighting with Israel and it's neighbors has had to with land, not religion. The godfather of Zionism- Theodor Herzl was a devout atheist and most of his followers who went on to actually found a Jewish state in Palestine were devout atheists or secular who didn't practice religion. 

In 1917 when the British Empire- who had zero authority to give away land that they were occupying that didn't belong to them, promised to support just exactly that at some point in the future with the Balfour Declaration- the population of Mandatory Palestine was 94% Arab and 6% Jewish. People can say "well those dirty Arabs should've just taken the UN partition plan" all they want- but the UN partition was merely a recommendation- there was nothing binding about it- and it was a completely ridiculous and ludicrous proposal which called for the Arabs which were 67% of the population and who owned around 90% of the land in Mandatory Palestine to receive around only 45% of the total land- of course they were going to reject this complete and utter nonsense. It was a complete non-starter.

The way that Israel was founded by the mass immigration of European Jews (most of which was illegal immigration and against British law) and the forced expulsion and relocation of roughly 750,000 indigenous Arabic peoples was always going to be a long term catastrophe for Israel and guarantee future conflict for oh-ever. It was never going to just go away quietly. You don't invade someones homeland evict them establish a country and take what's most precious to them- their land and expect they won't try to fight you back with everything they have for eternity. If you're Israel you have to either make peace with them or expel/kill them all. And I don't think anyone here would seriously support the latter.

this ain't about religion, this is about that.

Power and profit are the motivators behind war.  Sometimes religion is the dressing, but power and profit are always the motives.
