Many people prefer to be immersed in their culture. They don't think an island can be a culture. Can you be a conservative Christian, if the couple next door is gay? Thats the problem I see.

Jews in America and are proof that Jews can live (and many choose to live) in a multi-cultural society. And you can form local communities in the US, or even state communities as the Mormons have in Utah. Israel even has some stuff written into its constitution about all people being equal in areas other than immigration. If Israel had been a purely Jewish region for hundreds/thousands of years, then I would have no problem with them making effort to remain that way. That's pretty much how Japan is today. Unfortunately, the Israelis displaced and continue to displace a multi-cultural population (most Muslim) to get their desired cultural immersion. As long as those displaced people exist, and the separation between the cultures is codified in law, you're going to have war.
