None of the people in any of the incidents you mentioned were exactly rocket scientists.

Many suicide bombers have been highly educated, including M.D's, but one remaining thing I want to explore with you.

You mention repeatedly that "These people have literally been fighting each other for THOUSANDS of years." Please post some sources, because here a quote from an extreme anti-Zionist website run by Jews who are opposed the creation of Israel, which I offer as proof that statement is nonsense.
http://www.cactus48.com/earlyhistory.html

"Before the 20th century, most Jews in Palestine belonged to old Yishuv, or community, that had settled more for religious than for political reasons. There was little if any conflict between them and the Arab population. Tensions began after the first Zionist settlers arrived in the 1880's...when [they] purchased land from absentee Arab owners, leading to dispossession of the peasants who had cultivated it." Don Peretz, "The Arab-Israeli Dispute."
I think you are confusing Christian-Muslim conflicts with Arab-Jewish ones!

BTW, this is my last post on this thread, so you get the last word.

How about in the Bible when Moses led the people out of Egypt, they were fighting then. It was a racial thing then, but became religious when Islam came along.
