And everyone in the region is fighting just to defend their version of God. Pathetic. Move away from Israel and have a peaceful life.

I think Herr fan has made it quite clear that the situation is more complex than being merely religious; one of the problems with talking about Israel is always that the name 'Israel' is often synonymous with Judaism, and Israel is the only Jewish state extant. Regardless of that, what we're talking about is state politics. While I have a degree of sympathy with some Israeli foreign policy towards the Palestinian territories, there's no way I could say they're entirely in the right. Essentially, in my drunken way, I just want to make it entirely clear that the actions of Israel the state are by no means the actions of Israel the people.
I'll return to this sober.
