Because they are religious fanatics. They each believe they are Gods chosen people and under those circumstances killing in the name of God is considered acceptable.
Also, they take literally, the phrase " an eye for an eye. "

For the very same reasons any of the other nations that have been locked in violent conflict do it.
In most languages the name used for people 'not of the group' implied strange / foreign and by default dangerous.
There are people that look to dominate others for the purpose of increasing their own turf and control (in religion as well as in more secular areas).
While it is fun to point fingers (in this case to the Middle East) let us not forget that Eastern and Central Europe hasn't been aggression free. For that matter neither has South and Central America. Also let us not forget that European nations along with the US also decided to invade Iraq.
Seems to me that this is a global issue.
We need, as a species, figure out how to play nice with each other so that everyone can benefit from the group.

People in the Middle East lack confidence in their country's law enforcement and justice systems. They feel driven to violence to solve their problems.
Minority rights do not receive enough recognition. This lack of respect fuels hatred and mistrust. The majority tries to impose their will on the minority and the minority finds ways to "get even".
This is a very difficult trend to reverse. Sometimes a culture needs a common enemy to unite. A paradox is that this can make it more difficult for an outside group trying to mediate or adjudicate problems.

The middle east is where europe, asia and africa come together creating huge numbers of different groups with their own beliefs, customs and languages, though islam and the arabic language currently dominate.
It is also a mainly arid area where fresh water is hard to come by and food is hard to grow so competition for the limited fertile land has always been fierce.
With the discovery of oil, control of oil fields has become important because it has become their main source of income and also provides those who control the oil political power internationally.

For the same reasons that everyone else in the world has been killing each other - greed, religion and politics.
Middle East
Japan and China
Vietnam
Korea
Chechnya
Greece and Turkey
Iran and Iraq
etc., etc.
Actually, the problems in Israel actually stem from the West's (particularly Britain's) insistence on dabbling in affairs in the areas. (British Mandate 1920-1947 for instance).

It’s a wrestle between cousins. both Jews and Arabs declare Abraham because the first of their tribe. both declare that God gave the land to Abe. Abe had 2 sons. Ishmael, the son of Hagar. Isaac, the son of Sarah. in accordance to the Arabs, Abraham chosen Ishmael as his inheritor. in accordance to the Jews, Abraham chosen Isaac. they have been struggling with over the inheritance ever considering that. Abe must have had a competent legal professional (probably a Jewish one, his mom is so proud) to entice up his will. Then the area might want to were resolved.

Because of Jacob and Esau in the Bible. The Bible says that until Jesus returns there will be fighting in the Middle East. Looks like it's right..........

They are not able to come to a consensus amongst themselves. Jews are raised to believe Arabs are demons are crooks, and Arabs are raised in the same way. It is racism in a way, racism supported by religion.
