There is religious intolerance on both sides of the conflict, but it is typically more pervasive on the Palestinian Side.

Israeli Religious Intolerance

Israeli religious intolerance mostly comes form the the Datim Leumim or Religious Zionists who settle in the West Bank Territories. While there are Settlers who are not religious Zionists, those Settlers typically live in settlement-cities close to the Israeli border, like Modi'in Ilit. Datim Leumim usually live in majority Palestinian areas such as Hebron (Kiryat Arba). They have a belligerent attitude towards non-Jews living in any part of the Biblical Land of Israel as they believe that land was intended solely for Jews. This has led to violent confrontations between the Datim Leumim and the Palestinian Arabs. There are a minority among the Datim Leumim that also teach that the Palestinians are the descendants of the Philistines or descendants of the Seven Nations that Israel was required to evict from the land. This makes peace between any Jewish State and any Palestinian State a violation of Divine Law in their view.

Palestinian Religious Intolerance

Palestinian intolerance of non-Islamic Belief, especially Jewish belief, is quite common in the Palestinian Territories. Most Palestinian school textbooks have been shown to say Anti-Semitic beliefs and claim, based on Qur'anic verses, that Jews are descended from Apes and Monkeys. The Hamas Government in Gaza uses its television stations to make children and adults hate Jews with recycled and disproved rhetoric from 1800s Europe (such as Jewish Blood Libels, the Protocols of Zion, the Treacherous Jew, etc.). Jewish holy sites in the West Bank are openly vandalized or are claimed to be solely Islamic regardless of the fact that no Muslim would have gone to these sites previously. One of the most egregious offenses is when the Islamic Waqf, which maintains the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Site for Muslims, claimed that the Zionists "invented" the story of the Western Wall and that the site was never holy to Jews at any point in history. Attacks against Christians in the Territories have mounted and while Israel has seen an increase in its Christian population, Palestine has seen a decrease. There is no permitted form of proselytization in Palestine save for Muslim proselytization and minority faiths are openly marginalized and discredited.
