Instead of all these unholy alliances, why not just regard all your fellow citizens as allied?

Silly stuff like this will only divide the populace further.

Semites making unholy alliances will only fuel the fire of neo-nazis

Semites? A fair fraction of the Muslims I know are from the Balkans, West Africa, or the subcontinent. (And a certain number of the persons of Arabic descent are Christian.) Also, it is my impression that "Semitic" works pretty well as a description of a language family, not so well as a description of ethnicity.

Having said that, yes, regarding one's fellow citizens as allied would be a good thing.

(Also, how would one hallow an alliance?)
