Additionally, the Jewish believed so strongly in this ideology that they were willing to kill in order to obtain what they believed was theirs. The Israeli Jews keep drawing from their past to inform the decisions for their future. The problem with this tactic is that the Israeli Jews keep repeating the mistakes of the past. Edmund Burke said, “Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat its mistakes.” This quote describes the Israeli Jews in the conflict in question, because those involved continue to draw upon mistakes their enemies made and improve upon them so that the same fate does not befall them. This tactic, coupled with Zionist extremists in the government, is the reason why the Israeli Jews are becoming what they came to fear during the Holocaust. This violent combination of a conflict rooted in ancient history, modern history, and religious aspects comes together to form a holy war.
