when the differences are accentuated by ethnic or religious demarcation The religious aspects seems to have become the center of the problem - on the Arab side. For as long as the main objections to the presence of Israel remained in the political realm - like the claim that Israel represented a new form of Western colonialism - there was a chance of settling the issue. Unfortunately, it became more of a religious thing. Muslims cannot allow land which was part of "Dar-al-Islam" - Home of Islam - to revert to nonbelievers. Accepting any compromise would be acting against the will of God. That's a big problem. I think that's why (in part) Arafat had to walk away from Barak's offer. He could not possibly accept it in the atmosphere of growing religiosity.
