The truth is uncomfortable to anyone involved. In short? This conflict exists because Israelis as a collective do not appreciate the land's uniqueness and their own.

The "Why" - inner politics

It's no secret we have an issue of inner politics, and more often than not we're too involved. Since December 2022 the current Israeli government is targeted a bit too often. With all due respect, everyone's talking as if they knew all along what would happen on that day and would in fact act differently. What I see is people projecting their part in the pre-Oct7 conception onto Netanyahu. But all Israelis have indirectly contributed to this mess, **myself included**.

Israel's thing is not "the only democracy in the ME" as usually portrayed, but Judaism and the idea of faith that is too demonized nowadays. Israel is no different to "When in Rome do as the Romans do", it's called "the Jewish state" for a reason - yet we cannot collectively agree about what Jewish means or where it becomes hollow (if at all).

The Palestinians

Now this conflict enters the picture, like a kid who learns the hard way irl what he could learn while in school. The influence of the Palestinian issue and Islam is global by design, because the Israeli and Jewish purpose is worldwide, which we reject and run away from. The Islamic global Caliphate is equalivalent to the Jewish "Tikkun Olam" (world repair), because as long as the Jews won't step into their role - someone else will.

Semantic clues

interlinguistics prove my claim. Arabs in Hebrew is "ערבים" (Aravim), the root is ע and ר and ב - these letters also appear in the Hebrew term for Jewish mutual care and involvement - ערבות הדדית (arvut hadadit). In other words, the Arab role is to force the Israelis to unite together and over time it'll be voluntary - corresponding to "בין אדם לחברו" (between man and his comrade). Islam? The same but regarding a relationship with Him (בין אדם למקום; between man and God).

The name "Islam" is another key:

In Arabic "the religion of Islam" is "دين الإسلام" (din al-Islam), in hebrew it's "דת האיסלאם" (dat HaIslam). There's a Hebrew word named "din" (דין) meaning law or judgement (like דיין/dayan, a judge; AKA shofet/שופט). There's a Hebrew prefix "אי" that means without (similar to "a-" and "im-"), the Arabic word سلام (salam) that hides within - means "peace". So all together? "The religion of Islam" literally means in Hebrew "the judgement for the absence of peace", lack thereof among whom? Israelis with one another. That's the whole point of this conflict, and anti-Semitism along with the Palestinian idea continuously exist to test the Israeli and Jewish resolve.

P.S. the Arabic name for Jerusalem, "القدس" (al-Quds)? It means "the sanctity"; ق = ק, د = ד, س = ס. Hebrew ס (s) is the same as שׂ, which resembles שׁ (sh/ش) - swap these and overall you've got "הקודש" (HaQodesh) - "the sanctity". How come Islam views Jerusalem with the reverence that Israelis seem to have lost?
