Technically it has been going on for the last 4,000 years. Genesis is clear on how Abraham went to war with his neighbors as soon as he had left Chaldea. Nobody wants to admit it but this is the product of a war culture that goes back for several thousand years, and belief in religions that turn a blind eye to violence because "god is on our side".

What really strikes me about this conflict is that it is really a fair fight. Obviously Palestians receive as much money and weapons from the West as Israelis do. In fact, those home-made rockets do tilt the balance of power in favor of the Palestinians, who, by all accounts, are a nuclear superpower just like their opponents are!
