That's why I said their faith is their greatest strength and

their greatest weakness. They are too bounded by their faith to think more logically about their future. They don't want to give up their heritage and yet it is their heritage that had bounded them in this unending loop of conflicts with Muslims. Both Jews and Muslims are VERY faithful therefore hard to stop the hostilities. As for population, it is strange that after these thousands of years, Jewish population is strangly small. Perhaps the constant warfare and low birth rates are the causes. Also mixed marriages could be factor as well. I remember only Jewish man marries a woman with whatever ethnicity, their children would be consider Jewish. Again, they are bounded too tightly by tradition and only accept pure blooded jews that were fathered by Jewish men.
