The region is a classic case of why others should never become involved or take sides in others squabbles. The single minded obsession of those involved that the other side is "dead wrong" and need to pay for the sake of their religious persuasion is a sticky mess that will always simmer away, boiling over (like now) every now and again.

Reading that article that Gaddy linked to (which is interesting for both what it glosses over and deliberately neglects to mention) can be summed-up in a few words: Blame, blame, blame, blame, blame, blame...

Conversly, articles that I have seen from the other side of the fence: Blame, blame, blame, blame, blame, blame...

Both sides need to man-up, suck it up and get it resolved - but they never will as their respective demands are the same, yet positions diametrically opposed, however similar or however parallel their religions are in content and applicability. They'll never get on together ever, in much the way hainzy's vid link shows. Funnily enough, if all the people were pulled out of the region and the place nuked back into black glassy plains then watch how quickly they would get over their differences and united, come after whoever destroyed their "Holy Land".

The LON/UN should have been hung, drawn and quartered for ever considering the issuance of a "homeland" based upon religious belief without really weighing-up what mess they were actually going to create. It has been going on so long now that nobody knows who or what is right anymore.
