Answer 1

It's both, the clash of religions is fueling the political fight to find a homeland for both faiths, it's an on going thing and until some common ground is found, it's going to be endlessly fought over, one feeds the other. It's sad but true that people will let their passion's get the better of them! "They killed Omar, so we'll kill one of them in return!" and so on and so on!

Answer 2

I'd probably call it an ethnic war, rather than religious or political.

Both sides want a safe place to live, but don't trust the other to leave them alone.  Plus, of course, the Palestinians want the land the Israelis stole back.

It's probably about as religious as The Troubles in Northern Ireland; religion acts as a catalyst for violence but I don't think that on its own is the cause.

Answer 3

Religion and politics are synonymous--each religion has its own politics. Israel's politics which are commonplace in Europe are foreign in the Muslim world, and hence Islam wants to expel it from the Middle East WHILE AT THE SAME TIME EXPORTING THEIR ISLAM TO EUROPE!

Answer 4

Both.  Political because the Palestinians feel that when Israel was created it took away the Palestinian home land.  They want it back.  Israelis feel that the land they occupy was their biblical homeland and do not want to give it up.  It is religious in that Israel is a Jewish nation and the Palestinians are Muslim.  These two religious groups have never gotten along and as time goes on the animosity between Jew and Muslim seems to get worse.  The Palestinians are supported by the Muslim nations which surround them and Israel.  Israel is supported primarily by the United States.

Answer 5

There are also thousands of Muslims (Israeli Arabs) and Christians in Israel.

Palestine is predominately Muslim.
