Which river causes conflicts among Jews and Arabs?
There is no river per se that causes Israeli-Palestinian or Israel-Arab conflict. Fresh water in general is hard to find in the Middle East and the allocation of that water is hotly contested. There have Israeli-Syrian conflicts over the Sea of Galilee (Yam Kinerret or Bahria Tabiria), which is a freshwater lake. There have been conflicts over underground aquifers along the 1949 borders of Israel and the West Bank. There have also been occasional skirmish between Israel and Jordan or Israel and the West Bank over the Jordan River, but as the Jordan does not carry a lot of water, such conflicts have been minimal compared to the other two conflicts mentioned.

Why is the Jordan River important to Israel and its Arab neighbors?
There are actually "two" Jordan rivers: the one from the slopes of Mt. Hermon to the Kineret (Sea of Galilee), and its continuation from the Kineret to the Dead Sea. The main importance of the Jordan River is in its first portion, which is the Kineret's major supply of fresh water. Because the country of Jordan is arid, it (like Israel) sees the river as one of its water-sources. Also, the river is Jordan's western border. For Syria, besides fresh water, the river has the significance that some of its northern stream-tributaries used to be within the borders of Syria and are now in the Israeli Golan Heights.
