Abstract

The aim of this paper is to offer a descriptive and, to some extent, an analitic view of the religious and histori- cal reality in the arabi-israeli area, without the natural utopic tendency of any interreligious dialogue to solve such a conflict. The interreligious dialogue between Ju- daism and Islam, which threatens to remain a conflictual one, can not be separated from Christianity, as they all flow from the Abrahamic origin. Situated at the incicence of the religious and historical fields, the arabi-israeli con- flict is here analized in the perspective of its two major causes: the argue regarding the biblical problem of the Chosen People, and the one regarding the fight over the sacred areas
