How has human geography prevented the Israelis and Palestinians from reaching the “understanding” that Ralph Waldo Emerson cites as necessary for achieving peace?

Both Jews and muslims consider the jerusalem to be a sacred city.however, jerusalem and the wider palestine region has been conquered numerous times by foreign powers.

in various times in history it has been ruled by romans,egyptians, byzantines and many more.

the Jews consider the region as holy land where their forefathers lived.muslims only consider palestine as the third holiest place in the religion while for Jews it is not just about an ancestral home that they lost.

in the last 1500 years the area has mostly been ruled by muslims and before that,only for a short period was controlled by Jews themselves.

yet after the british empire disintegrated,both muslims and Jews laid claim to the land Jews saw it as an opportunity to go back to their own country,free of foreign control.

herein lies the problem,for both communities it is not just about religion but a matter of survival.

below the masks of religion,there are obvious undertones to nationalism, survival and to a lesser extent racial superiority from both sides.

matters have only worsened due to arabs losing two wars with isreal,which led to isreal annexing egyptian,syrian and jordanian territory.

how do you convince two people to give up a piece of land which both believe is not only intergral to their religion but to their survival as a nation.

I hope this helps
