The conflict is not about religion. It is about people who where thrown out of their homes and country or forced into ghettos with virtually any human rights. How would you feel if you were forced out of your house, had many of your family members killed, and were tossed out of your country without any of your possessions? I bet you cannot fathom the idea of someone taking over your country and expelling you because you are not among the "chosen people." Just because you are Christian or Muslim you suddenly do not have any right to live on land that your ancestors have been living on for thousands of years? Everything you had is gone especially your cultural identity for generations to come. The goal of most Palestinians is to live in peace with basic human rights. Israel capitalizes on the false notion that the majority of Palestinians want a purely Muslim controlled Jerusalem and neglect to show the attrocities Israel inflicts on the Palestinian people on a daily basis
