No. Religion is a very small part of the war and is often used (incorrectly) to label Israelis and Arabs since most Israelis are Jewish and most Arabs are Muslim. However, there are many Muslim Israelis and Christian Arabs and Christian Israelis.

∙ 11y agoThis question is difficult to answer for two reasons. Firstly, there are two conflicts going on in Palestine (the first is the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and the second is the Palestinian Civil War and related violence). Secondly, opinions widely vary as to what the causes of these conflicts are. It is likely that religion is a bigger player in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict than the Palestinian Civil War. A strong argument can be made that either conflict is not based on religion in any substantial way and strong arguments can also be made that religion is the defining aspect of these conflicts. In depends on more on the person than anything else.
Personally, I do not find the "religion" angle terribly appealing in either case. I think the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is a ethnic nationalist conflict and that the Palestinian Civil War is a war fought for political control.
Please see the Related Questions below for more information on both conflicts.

∙ 11y agoNo. The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is an ethnic/nationalist war. It is being fought by two parties that each wish to establish a state with certain conditions that the other party will not abide. This is no different than, for example, the Sudan-South Sudan Wars or the Yugoslav Wars in the 1990s. These conflicts are typically not seen as being religious either.
