it's not just group mentalityit's if there were no "jews" and no "muslims", if we all weren't insulating ourselves into our safe little groups, there could be no conflict. You can't have conflict with out two different parties. If we were all just human beings, we wouldn't kill each other, because we'd be killing ourselves.
