Zionism did poison inter faith relationships in the Middle East ...and as yet there has been no recovery.
People who have a history of living in a land without interruption for over a thousand years simply will not accept a declaration from others [Zionists ] that they have a God given right to an exclusive state.
That declaration was given some legitimacy by Lord Balfour in 1917 which is all the more troubling as the man was a well known anti semite.
