And yet it happens because religion is that reason. Jewish god, Lord Jealous, tells Jews to hate people of other religions, and these nuns were lucky that they didn't throw them out or even worse, especially since they are in Jewish Holy Land where god of the Bible sees ethnic cleansing as the only solution to get rid of an unwanted religious group.
“You shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you … for I have given you the land to possess.” —Numbers 33:52–53
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
