Ironically, it's mostly BECAUSE of the sameness. Jerusalem, in particular The Temple Mount, is sacred to all three religions, and the Arabs and Jews have been fighting over control of it for ages. That is really the epicenter of the Arab-Israeli conflict, IMHO. If they could work that out, the problems in Gaza and the Sinai would be resolved not long after.
