How did they bring it upon themselves? Seriously I would like to know.
Seems they have kissed the asses of to many people and now are tired of it. I am happy that they are showing they have balls.
Right now this is not a holy war. Where are you people getting this from.
They have invaded Palestine and built a bloody great wall which is way across the internationally recognised border between the two countrys. They have kicked out every Palestinian living in Israel (kind of like the Nazis kicking out the Jews from Germany, thats how that started - who knows maybe in the not too distant future they'll have concentration camps for Arabs (although the Americans seem to be ahead on that one with Guantanamo)) and they have bulldozed Palestinian villages which lie anywhere near the border zones.
Whose asses have the Israelis been kissing? Other than the Americans - and they don't seem to have a lot of respect for them anyway. America will ask them to do or not do something and the Israelis won't pay any notice at all.
This is and always has been a holy war - Its about the religious significance of Jerusalem to Jews and Muslims. The whole thing is about how that entire region is the promised land, unfortunately it happens to be the promised land for two different religions (three if you count Christians, remember the Crusades?). For that reason Jerusalem is always going to be a warzone unless all these people just learn to get along and live there side by side. Thats probably where all these people are getting the idea it's a holy war.
