It is a land dispute but the land in question contains buildings that are held in very high regard by both the Jews and the Muslims. Both refuse to give up this land.
Who has a more valid claim to this land? Who the fuck cares. If I was a Palestinian/Jew, I'd be happy to give up this land but not everyone sees it that way. When you are brought up with the prejudice/propaganda that kids on both sides are force fed whilst growing up, I am not surprised that we are as far from a resolution as ever.
If anyone thinks that religion isn't one of the key factors (besides economic factors and water), they are fucking deluded.
