Muslim, Jewish, Israeli and Arab Relations! :)?

Question

In Europe, the USA, (infact, outside the Middle East) Jews, Arabs, Muslims and Israelis get along just fine. (Or atleast, By far, Most of them do!)
They're friends, even best friends. They go out with each other, have parties together, work together, go to the movies together, do things together, laugh together, basically, enjoy each others company, etc etc!

As in, they're just like other people.
They don't think about the Middle East, or the political problems over there.

Sure some do, but by far, most don't.

So, the question is, why is it that the people in the Middle East, are so different than the ones outside it??? The governments in the Middle East don't help matters but fan the flames of hatred.
But why can't the people there be more like the people outside that area??

Answer 1

The Middle East, specifically Palestine/Israel, has always been a convergence of competing ethnic groups, cultures, and religions. Religious and ethnic animosity plays a large role in the modern conflict as well. Jerusalem is the centerpiece for all three of the Abrahamic religions. Jerusalem holds the Temple Mount, the holiest site for Jews, the al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site of Islam, and is extremely important to the Christianity.

Many Arabs believe that modern Israel is a Western colonizing power, due to the influx of European Jews at the beginning of the 20th century, and has no claim to Israel proper, Jerusalem, or the Palestinian territories. Israel is therefore an aberration and must be eliminated.

The establishment of a Jewish nation has always been in the hearts and minds of the Jews. The Jews had been forced to leave Judea in the 2nd century AD by the Romans and were dispersed throughout the Mediterranean region. Theodor Herzl, who founded the Zionist Movement in the late 19th century, called for the establishment of a Jewish state; a steady stream of European Jews soon began to enter British-controlled Palestine. The Holocaust, however, was the great motivator for many European Jews to settle in the Holy Land and consequently this and the subsequent wars with Israel's Arab neighbors displaced many Palestnian Arabs.

Religious animosity, ethnic tension, and who has control over Jerusalem has created a cauldron of violence in the Middle East. Religion can bring out the best in people, but also the worst. I suggest you do furthur research on Palestine, Israel, and the rest of the Middle East to put a historical context on the modern day conflict.

Answer 2

They are not free to be like the people in Europe or the United States. That is the mentality that needs to be eradicated. The Islamic States rulers, dictators actually will send out their religious police and imprison people for going against what they call Islam.

Answer 3

The reason Hebrews and Arabs get along outside the middle east is simple: THE POLICE!!!

Answer 4

I believe there is a chance for peace,,, but not with an act of war,,,, most people probably want good lives,,,, stop the killing and dying,,, someone has the answer,,, maybe Bill Clinton would go talk to the leaders In Iraq and Afghanistan,,,,,Our Good Will Ambassador for Peace,,, he would be amazing............................Or am I dreaming

Answer 5

The instability there is mainly caused by political reasons (boundaries, oil, power... etc.) and has just a little to do with religious differences. Religions are tolerant and forbid you to kill.

Answer 6
