My (very small) understanding of this is that the Arab/Jew disputes are
politcally based and not based on ideologies of religions.  And the
disputes are between ethnic groups, not religions.  The word Jew here
refers to an ethnic group, even though it can, at other times, refer to
the religion which is practiced by the set of people that Middle
Eastern Jews belong to.
