No, I don't. I wish I did.

At the heart of this clash are two fundamental religions - Islam and Judaism. Like all other religions, they have those who are fundamentalist in their beliefs, and they take it literally.

So many Israelis will tell you that God gave the land to Israel, and they are bent on taking every bit of Palestine - and they have taken it, inch by inch.

On the other side, Muslims believe that everybody in the world ought to be Muslim and their Koran instructs them to kill anyone who isn't.

These are the fundamentalists, of course. Normally, people with more secular values, even if they celebrate the holidays, don't pay attention to stuff that is obviously in conflict with secular or western values.

Hamas intends to eradicate Israel. That has always been the goal. Without Hamas, there may be a chance of the two nations becoming one.
