Religion has its strengths and weaknesses but I doubt it is the sole/primary cause of this conflict. At a more fundamental level, all organisms have a deeply evolved purpose to further the reproduction of their own genetic relatives while eliminating competing organisms of a different genetic lineage. Palestine and Israel have conflicting religious and judicial goals. However, their goals are shaped by and reflect this emergent strategy to preserve ones' own family and community above all others.
If you took Judaism and Islam out of the picture, the conflict between the two sides would persist; The people in that region occupy one of the most densely populated resource-strained locations on the planet. Regardless of their intentions and desire for peace, living space will always be limited, and at some point one side (or both) will organize to further their own survival at the expense of the other.
Peace will only be found in anti-natalism and reproductive education. Less people means more resources and happier individuals. Any attempt to diffuse the war or come to a compromise will only continue the overpopulation of Israel and Palestine, and lead to an inevitable conflict in the future. Unless population control is implemented, the 'winner' of this conflict will have multiple civil wars, rebellions and internal conflicts in their future. For example, if Israel conquers Gaza and annexes their land, suddenly the various sects of Judaism within Israel's government will be at conflict with each other over who deserves to control the land. War will persist in one way or another, as long as people continue to reproduce without limit.
