Exploring the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict from Religious Perspectives
Abstract:
Judaism and Islam are world’s most important religions with adherents consisting of approximately half of the global population (Phipps, 1996, p. 11). The cultural conflict between the Israelis and Muslims in Israel and Palestine is deeply embedded in their histories and religions. This paper analyzes the historical influences of Judaism and Islam, and explores the fundamental beliefs of the two religions that encourage people to be kind and respectful to others. The purpose of this paper is to raise awareness of positive thinking between the two faiths and help people build trust by promoting positive communication. The paper attempts to enhance religious understanding by examining how Judaism and Islam can foster peaceful communication between Israelis and Muslims.
