Prospect of peace in middle east

I've been following this news in the local newspaper and its been boggling my mind. I don't understand why they can hate each other so much. Yes, there is a lot of strife between the two countries but can't they see that by kidnapping someone, it'll just cause one side to be more pissed off and can't they see that by shooting missiles and artilery shells would cause people to be pissed off? Why can't they just share the land or just stop shooting.

Edit: Sorry, I just read the post above me. Can there be some kind of compromise? Like a joint place of worship? I, myself am not too familiar with either religion, so sorry if I offended anyone.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
