Originally posted by Scotty70The land is a religious symbol. When the Israeli defend their right to Israel, they refer to the old prophecy from the Torah. Of course it is primarily a religious issue.
Religious differences are the hardest conflicts to resolve.

I think this is more about land than religion.
When the Jews wanted a land for themselves they chosed between territory in Argentine and the territories in the Middle East, they got a cheap offer from the UK, and 1948 one people got a country, and another people lost theirs.
It would be better if they chosed Argentine alternative. Much less bloodshed.
