Arabs hate Israel for religious reasons that don't really apply. Isn't that ironic?

Ive been 58 times and traveled through most of the country and that was not my experience. I think perhaps a different way to word that may be: In your experience most Israelis are atheists. I find that amazing; completey different from my visits there. I think many would be suprised at how many Palestinian Christians there are as well.
