From what i have learn, there are many conflicts between Palestine and Israel. The one that sticks out in my mind is the fight for oil. Many countries want control of the area just for oil. The riches of oil are absolutely astonishing. The money involved is an epic amount. With this money, you can buy many complex and technologically advanced weapons that could dominate in war. With oil also comes power. You can lessen the oil given to your enemies or even cut them of completely of this source. It would cost that enemy a great deal of trouble. You can also charge more to your enemy so they have less money to buy weapons that they are trying to hurt you with. Now these examples are just possibilities. Although there is a chance of this happening, it is not a fact this is going to happen. This oil conflict is fairly new since oil was not been needed as much in the past as it is today. It just became another "piece in the puzzle" (like religion) in this conflict as the need arose. This was my take on the Palestine and Israel conflict. I look forward into reading all the comments. Thanks for reading.
