I DID GO THERE.
My friend (Baptist turned Presbyterian) and I went to the Holy Land a few years ago, 2011. We never saw so many armed soldiers in our life! Uzis everywhere.

We also saw the cooperation between Christians, Muslims and Jews. It is of necessity, they admit, since there aren't enough Jews to do all the labor in that country. The Muslims and Christians farm, pick vegetables/fruit, clean toilets, wash the dishes at Israeli Jewish restaurants and all other manual labor.

They aren't all buddy-buddies but they work together and cooperate because THAT is the essence of everyone's survival.

No one does much that's bad because of the Uzi-wielding Israeli soldiers EVERYWHERE. You can't go even a mile, it seemed, without another guard-house and soldiers' post.

Go there yourself and see. THAT would open your eyes. However, I doubt that you'll do it. MUCH easier to just hate them from afar.

We went on a Steve Ray pilgrimage. He was an Evalgelical Baptist minister who firmly believed that us Catholics were all going to hell. So, he and his wife, Janet, set out to convert us all to be Evangelical Baptists.
After a year of reading about Catholicism...they found themselves weeping on the living room floor one night saying: "Oh no! We're Catholics!"
Their getting to know the 2000-year history of the Catholic Church changed their life.

There are no more fervent Christians that converts.
NOW he takes regular tours to the Holy Land. He knows his Scripture backwards and forwards and it's a WONDERFUL tour. He's a very knowledgeable guide and a tour of Jesus' homeland is a perfect milieu for him and Janet. He always worked in concert with the LOCAL tour guides.
