The normal distribution curve plus the genetic defect bulge at the beginning of the curve for human abilities gives some idea of why there is a persistence in lack of ability to cope with the trials of life as a group and as a rule since the beginning of time. LOL.

The genetic defect bulge is not shown in these diagrams but it is at the start of the curve where quite a number of people fall short at the first hurdle so to speak, probably 5% to 10%.
You and I see what is going on and could explain it to all and sundry but most won't listen to us and especially these two particularly obstreperous groups not known for their peaceful existence so far. Having a continuous battle in your local communities allows one to escape (shy away from) from seeing a big picture of overall reality in fact gives the ability to runaway from such realizations, see our local gang warfare which has been going on forever and exists all over the world. Some people don't have the ability to take in the full picture and feel comfortable with the unpalatable facts of existence.
The belief of being made by an omnipotent, meaning all-powerful; omniscient, meaning all-knowing; and omnipresent, meaning present everywhere at all times is quite an arrogant belief which often has the opposite effect of what was intended by that beings son, LOL. Or you can be part of a closely knit tribe all with the same simple belief and face the world aggressively with your fellow warriors.
You can see how all of these factors coupled together with the Israelis being Jewish faith and the Palestinians being Islam faith could lead to problems.
That reminds me of a quote from an Austraian book several decades ago - 'They're a weird mob'...


We're a very strange species; I think everyone should be able to believe whatever religion/belief system they prefer, as long as they're not harming anyone.
The old Wiccan rule was 'And it harm none, do what ye will' which could perhaps work quite well - if we could manage it.
Alas, we can't seem to. Still, I suppose we're all learning, if nothing else...
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
