I understand why critics of Israel want to ignore the Islamist ideologies of Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah which drive basically everything they do because it's an inconvenient aspect of the "Israel bad" mantra, but just because you ignore it doesn't mean it isn't true. Likewise, the settler movement is also based around the beliefs of Jewish Supremacists, who distort their religion as a way to give themselves permission to use violence for their ultimate goal of ethnically cleansing all Arabs from Palestine.
To say what's happening in the region (and what's been happening for hundreds of years) isn't about religion is just nonsensical.
