Only extremists hate each others, most of the people, including religious one, want to live peacefully. Even if there are also extremists or radicals outside of religion, this is the problem within religions: extremism. The difference is when "god will" is at stakes: a few people can't bear diversity of opinions. Both sides have been made by religious extremists!

However, as a modern democracy keeper of numerous Jewish great minds Israel should have follow UN resolution 181.

What is happening is just human/animal nature!
