Well, Tungsten, basically that place is a mess. It's always have been and it will be so for at least another 100 years, maybe 200, I don't know. One would reckon it only depends on how fast tabloids, coffee and moochin' a croissant becomes breakfast on those parts (that's the George W. approach), but it's not. That place is where two worlds and two sensitivities collide.
Why?
That piece of land would have no importance if it weren't for the fact that it is the place where two of the most wide-spread religions sprung from. Christianity (which was not made peacefully and has many defects), and represents the West, and the Islamic rule (which was not made peacefully and has many defects, but still represents the Desert in our minds, and rightly so because we oppose to their rule about how they treat their people and, especially, their women).
From these notions we make an opinion.
Starting at 0 AD, the land called Palestine was occupied by Romans. It was just an outpost for them, a place where the civilized, cosmopolitan world ended and they could do business with tribes from the desert (bear in mind that for Rome the desert was the limit of the known-world) which were dominated by the Persians. In that place there were a lot of tribes: like the Jews. The Jews were a small people enslaved by the Persians (now Iraq and Iran), in the North, and by the remains of the Egyptian culture in the South. They managed to keep their culture and language, but the influence of Rome (which was mainly mercantile) gave the opportunity to the Jewish people, because their expertise as a tight group of workers favoured them against an erratic big domain Persian rule. It's like a syndicate.
The rest of the story, I'll leave it to you.
of the political influence of Roman law and the widespread cult of the teachings of Jesus Christ which were authorized by the Roman Empire around 200AD, devised Islamism (circa 600AD of our era).
