The sad fact is, this is a farcical conflict. Even the Palestinian pretensions to the Temple Mount are modern creations, with the entire site being in ruins prior to the Israeli nation being created. Now, today, it is the third holiest site to Islam. There is politics going on here in the direction of Hamas and the PA authority. They are not run by their own free-wills, but do what other foreign nations tell them to do. Arafat, for example, had worked closely with the KGB. The real angst with Israel is caused by purely cynical leaders in other nations dictating the policies, or promoting the violence, using religion to do so. And this has been going on since the day that Israel was declared a nation, followed shortly thereafter with the invasion of Israel by its neighbors. And this will not end until after a significant war turns the entire middle east into a pit of hell.
