I am risking the wrath of AmrikA parasts (I like to call them modern American slaves) here. But, In my opinion there is no need to go back that far in the history to see where the current wars come from. Long time ago, may be there was a moses and a holy land. Then there were long stretches of peace along with some wars. All of those were about religion and who wants to control what. In that sense Palestine was ordinary no more or less peaceful than other places like Iran. But this war has two components that makes it nasty and it is entirely about these two issues and nothing else:

1. The land has been taken from one group forcibly and given to another. Here, I am talking about what the English did but also what the State of Israel continued to do through settlements. Yesterday, for example, 50 Palestinian children dies at the hands of the settlers. This may appear to be religion-based, but it is really continuing that original occupation of the land policy and now enabling thugs to take matters into their own hand. Some may cite religion, but that is really a cover, not what is under the hood.

2. A foreign occupation force is the initiator of this occupation and continues to be the supporter and enabler of the expansion of the occupation.

These two issues will never go away because on one hand you have a malignant state that just wants to grow and occupy as much as it can, and on the other hand you have a group of people who have had too much bloodshed to forget. This is going to continue until the backers of this whole thing are gone much to the dismay of the American population and their interests. All of this is driven by a small group of people here.
