This ignores the fact that, while in any other conflict mentioned the goal at worst is to destroy a culture and assimilate the people into their culture, in the case of Israel/Palestine, the leaders of one side have the ultimate goal of wiping the other side off the face of the planet as a people. That makes this conflict fundamentally different than any other conflict you've mentioned. It's a religious war.
Thank you so very much for your expertise and insight which I feel offers both hope and perspective. Bill Rusen
