> What years was the History Channel documnetary reporting about?

I can't remember the exact dates...the Brits were still in charge and they were dividing up Arab and Jewish "neighborhood watch" if you could call them that. I think they covered from after WWI till the war with Egypt.

> I think you should be above phrases like "inherently violent."

But I think this is the truth. Anytime you have elements within the society who cannot be objective at any costs, then this kind of "us" vs "them" division will lead to violence. You and I can live in one city in peace because although it is understood that I love my family and you love yours, we have both agreed that we will not back our families no matter what crime they do against each other.
