The religious roots of this conflict should give us all pause.
Christian intolerance of Jewry in Europe helped spawn Zionism; then, the holocaust during WW2 forced many Jews to reconsider their place in majority-Christian nations.
The modern Exodus, the violent establisment of Israel, and the displacement of both Muslim and Christian Palestinians, who ethnically are the same as the Jews of two millenia ago, didn't endear the new Israelis to the locals.
Now religious hatred on both sides, the further displacement of Palestinians through settlements, and the wall fan the violence.
The uneven treatment by the West particularly the US is seen as hypocritical, and is destabilising throughout the Middle East.
What to do? Not much now, but try to be a lot more even handed in dealing with both sides.
Church/synagogue/mosque anyone?
Sadly all true.
PS, "Church/synagogue/mosque anyone?" I find such places stuffy, would prefer the open air to commune with the "Whatever it is".
PSS, Walter was busy I see.
