Subject: Re: Interesting take on the Israel - Palestine conflic
To pay homage to the name of this board, what do you expect from (monotheistic) religions?

Hamas is trying to do to Jews what Jews did (or rather, boasted and wished they had done) to Canaanites, as per the Torah. Just a few centuries too late.

Beneath all the complexity of modern considerations like democracy, self-rule, equality, non-discrimination; lies the plain and simple fact that this a religious conflict. It's Jihad on both sides. Neither will concede while fired up by religious zeal. Hamas openly so, Israel under the hood.
