?
it is a remnant of their past history when they were pastoralists who predated on settled agriculturalists.? I'm reading a book now where exactly that was posed as the biggest problem the Huns faced when they invaded Western Europe - they ran out of grazing but not before they ravaged about 2/3 of Western Europa.
If you take the oil out of the Middle East - the natives would settle down and scratch out a living.
Just wait about two hurdred years - it will happen.

This is not survival but suicide. ?Something seems seriously warped in their collective belief system. ?It's as though they live to hate outsiders and to inoculate their many children with a compulsion to do the same. ?"I hate, I rage, I kill. ?Pass it on."

David asked:? Why should a large group of people with a large amount of land continue over generations to live in active hatred of a tiny group of people with a tiny plot of land?? How soon is soon?

And Darrell mused: Because both groups have built up mental stories of what is 'right' and what each 'deserves'? How can I let my side down by questioning the story when it is foundational to the group I claim membership in? To do so would?threaten my very belonging, an outcome antithetical?to the survival intent of the human social instinct. Doesn't much matter if this is the more rational course because it is survival psychology and survival (of the individual in order to propagate the species) is a biological imperative.

2.? Is the conflict in the Middle East going to go global?
Probably not, but it isn't going to go away any time soon.
