I personally think what really makes this conflict so bad, is religion. Religion is a regressive element. Religion makes many of our people (settlers and those who support them) bring the nation into war just for some land. They are destroying the foundations of this country. Religion also makes many of the Palestinians turn to extreme violence, and truly believe it would help their cause.
I agree completely, religion causes many different outputs, and these religions also put a stereotypical view on that person, and make them have views at what is right and wrong. No offence to any people that are at one with their religion out there, but I think that religion is a load of rubbish, everything that is said in the bible, contradict's itself at another point, all of the different Gods that there supposedly are, they just make a mess out of all of the other religions, which cause conflict between the two.
Religion also causes racism and things, many people blame the muslim's for the terrorist attacks. Surely, its a select few of the Muslim religion that take part in these acts of terror, putting shame to all the other muslim's around. People think that it is only these, surely there are many more, as far as I know, the Irish Republic Army are Catholic, do I get discriminated because of them.
I think that all of this is just a mess.
