Settlers' assaults bar Palestinians from attending school
http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/spages/496259.html

<snip>

"Some 20 Palestinian children from the south Hebron hills area cannot attend school due to continuing harassment and assaults by residents of the nearby outpost of Havat Maon.


The case was revealed in a probe conducted by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, Doctors Without Borders and the Ta?ayush group for Arab Jewish partnership. The study will be presented to the Knesset committee for the Advancement of the Status of the Child on Wednesday."

<snip>

"Since the start of the year, the kids have been physically assaulted on several occasions. According to the report, the settlers also threw rocks at the kids and sicced dogs on them.

International volunteers who were brought in to accompany the children on their way to school also reported severe assaults. One volunteer suffered a punctured lung, another had his arm broken and a senior Amnesty International volunteer received blows to her face."

2. Only fundamentalists.
Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Any religious zealot is trouble.

3. You are aptly named I guess
This is not about religion as much as it is about empire building by Israel, the denial of basic rights to Palestinians, and the use of Israel as a tool of US interests in the middle east. We spend major dollars arming Israel to the teeth, turn a blind eye to their atrocious treatment of refugees , including children, and refuse to join in attempts by other nations and the UN to resolve this ongoing and long term problem

What this is NOT is a battle between jew and moslem as your post implies.Really it is not, that line is used by terrorists to justify atrocities.
