I am not sure this is the same for Jews as well.

I think you guys think of this conflict incorrectly... There is definitively a aspect of religion in this war but it's mostly about land and freedom and power.
Check the map that Shaolin posted... think about it in 60 years the Israel took over a country. the ousted the palestinians and forced them to live in very small concentration. then the built wall around those concentrations. They direct what/who goes in and out of the enclosed parts. They have the support of the most powerfull country in the world. What is it that they are suppose to do?
And Muslims being devided themself and not being able to all get along for a common goal suffer. If they had the support from other Arab countries it would be different but now just about no one supports them.
