Jews are a religious group, not a race.
I don't see how claims of racism are relevant.
Not that anti-semitism isn't a horrid thing, but it isn't racism.
The way I see the conflict, Israel effectively illegally invaded the lands beyond what was given to them in the armistice agreement (1949).
However, I think now, even if Israel were to shrink to the size designated in the agreement, the conflict would not stop. The problem is now one of religious intolerance, not border disputes (IMO)
If this conflict were not effectively between two opposing religious groups, do you think it would have been resolved long before now?
