it seems to me that your premise is off, powerclown: what you set out to argue for is a facile, essentialist way of parsing the israeli/palestinian conflict along religious/ethinic lines. given that you assume this to be the motor/explanation of everything, what follows is simply applying a circular logic to a series of political situations. there is no need for analysis in a world circumscribed by circular argument.
