In the Balkans, spoke of "ethnic Cleansing "in Israel / Palestine is the issue of" religious fanatics on both sides, "and Iraq are the" Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds over. "How religious but these wars in fact and what is the role of different ethnic background of the warring parties? fighting in the Middle East Jews against Muslims (and Christians), Jews against Arabs, Israelis against Palestinians - how to read these conflicts, says Berlin political scientist Herfried Münkler:
"The fact that the ethnic and religious explanations of the new wars as attractive are probably due to the fact that the wars that, at least implicitly, for irrational can be explained, if they are driven by antiquated, unenlightened attitudes and motives, so it is natural to move them with the tools of awareness to his body. (...) As long as one has not dealt with the economic structures of these wars, you can attach the comfortable belief, rationalization and pacification would be here, as in the countries of the OECD world, go hand in hand. Looking closer, however, point, one realizes that the new wars are in many ways, itself the result of economic rationality or purpose that rational actors play a significant role in them: not on the part of entrepreneurs, politicians, and zuletzt der Bewaffneten."
