Why is the Middle East considered the birthplace of Judaism Christianity and Islam?

What has caused tensions between Israel and Palestine?
The tension have started mainly from founding Israel in an area which includes both Jewish and Arab people. The countries in this area are associated with religions, and so there was a fight for the shared territory. The tension is also caused from the difference in religions themselves, there are areas in Israel sacred to all three religions, and there is an argument who should occupy them. The main formal motive of Israel is self defense, while the Arabs around it have different reasons. In Gaza they call for independency and equal rights. In Lebanon they want Israel to allow Palestine people from Lebanon to live in Israel, an so on. My personal opinion: There is a lot of suffering in the middle east, and suffering makes you look for someone to blame. It's easier to hate the ones who are different.
