THIS war is not about religion. Not that the conflict isn't helped by religion. When you have a Jewish state, and a Muslim population on the other side then of course religion will play a factor but I don't doubt for a second that if both groups were atheists that this would still be an ongoing problem.
The U.S didn't drop a nuke on the Japanese because of their religion and Israel isn't dropping bombs on U.N shelters because of what religion they believe in, so yes it does play a role but it's not the main reason for the conflict.
