      Far less inter-secular conflicts there before the WW1 promise of not dividing the region up amongst European empires was broken.

        Less conflict? Maybe, far less? No, the region was always bloody. There was smaller population. I didn’t read any statistics that were normalized by population size.

        The comment was about the claim that Israel is THE source of instability in the region. Which is false.

      Yet Jews and Muslims lived in relative peace with each other in Jerusalem for long periods of time. They don’t have to fight. The fighting mostly comes to them. Anyone claiming it’s because the religions must fight is lying or mislead. I don’t know which you are, if that’s what you’re implying.
