Ethnic Group Conflict: The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

Social cognition is strongly regulated through cultural integration, especially when religious beliefs are involved. Israel - the Palestinian conflict shows this concept vividly. Both sides have hostile social concepts. The settlement is only accomplished by changing these ideas. The opposite view leads to prejudiced lenses, which only maintains the universality of each culture to other cultures. Religion is the main theme of conflict between two groups, but it may be a bridge that transcends all the differences between the two countries.

Israel - Although religion is important in the conflict, it can be said that the conflict is actually not a religion but a conflict between the two. As Oren Yiftachel said, this is the conflict led by national nationalism trying to achieve or protect the nation state. In the past 100 years, the land of Palestine and Israel has been dominated by a fierce struggle between Zionist Jews and Palestinian Arabs.

Nonetheless, the common motive is the desire to destroy Israel and replace it with the Arab state of Palestine.
