Religion is just the surface bs. The real problem is the real estate issue and who owns it. That's at the heart of this conflict. Both sides say its their land going back thousands of years.
The problem is real estate isn't really owned by anyone on this planet. Its only controlled by whoever has the force and power to declare and maintain ownership be it by legal means (aka a properly titled deed) or in cases like in Israel by the barrel of a gun.
We should talk. Go back a couple hundred years and the USA wasn't much different. England claimed parts of it. Spain claimed parts of it. France claimed parts of it. Mexico claimed a huge amount of the west coast. And of course the real dudes that got royally fucked in the ass, the native american Indians who we slaughtered to take control of the land which is now so nicely divided into lots and deeded.
Quote From Red Cloud - Sioux Indian Chief
"They made us many promises, more than I can remember, but they never kept but one; they promised to take our land, and they took it."
So the middle east will be in eternal turnmoil because we're in the 21st century now and you can't do today what we used to be able to do and get away with 300 years ago.
