War in the Middle East


What is the war in the Middle East? This conflict began the whole issue? What are we fighting for? Who of who and, more importantly, who is fighting who?

There is so much news coverage of the fighting in Gaza, missile launches Israel, nuclear ambitions of the Iran, the war in Iraq, Lebanon, Turkey, Syria,... the list is long. Look outside of the region and born of many generations after the conflict, it is difficult to understand exactly what all fighting is subject. Why can't all just get along?

The conflict in the Middle East is often synonymous with Palestine / Israel in conflict. Something on a strip of Gaza, holy land, Jews and Muslims. There are Iraq. Supposed Saddam Hussein of weapons of Mass Destruction. It was just a war for oil in the guise of the war on the axis of evil?

No other region of the world has so much disorder, hatred, so much so, so many extremist views and so much disruption. Middle East is home to the most sacred city shared by two religions most populated in the world - Jerusalem. Jerusalem is the single most Holy of all cities in the world. It is the scene of many Crusades and of many counter crusades. It is a city by Jews, Christians and Muslims. Why Jerusalem is so Holy? What is Jews say Jerusalem? That is - what if important to Muslims? Why religions cannot share the Holy City?
