  1. As so often with these things, this whole conflict boils down to the human tribal mentality linked to race/ethnicity (Palestinian v Jew), organised religion (Islam v Judaism) and language (Arabic v Hebrew). 2 of these aforementioned (ethnicity/language - mother tongue) are given to us by accidents of birth; the other (religion) we kind of choose but, that said, the overwhelming majority of those who follow an organised religion follow the one which predominates in the culture in which they are born and raised, so this could be argued to be an accident of birth, too. So, essentially, we commit internecine conflict predicated on 3 accidents of birth. In this particular case, it seems to be principally territorial claims based on religious texts written by men 1000s of years ago. It seems human beings cannot cope with too much difference. We seem to need like-minded tribes. Nations. Religions. Gangs. Families. Clans. The evolved individual is able to think independently and not be in thrall to accidents of birth.
