Reply to comment by victorfiction in Israelis, Palestinians pledge to curb violence at Jordan meeting by Hiversitize

It isn't really a religious conflict. There are two groups fighting over the same piece of land. The groups are identified by different religions but they aren't fighting over religion. A similar conflict was The Troubles in Ireland. It was Catholics against Protestants but they weren't fighting about religion.

To say religion plays no part in this conflict is hilarious. Palestinians, and Muslims in general, believe Palestine is holy Muslim land. It's exactly why jews can't pray at their holiest religious site (the temple mount). It's Palestinian rejection of a Jewish state on any of the land.

Jews can't live in areas controlled by the PA..

If this had no religious component, this conflict would have ended a while ago.
