Intolerance of Monotheistic Faiths toward each other.

I personally think that it is a shame that the three monotheistic faiths that preach love, forgiveness and brotherhood cannot even live together.

It seems to me that even though the Jewish population has a good reason for seperating themselves from the Arab population, considering past and present Arab hositilities and bombings and I still think that it sheds a bad light on the Islamic, Jewish and Christian faiths that they cannot even live together. How can they judge and lecture the world on tolerance when they themselves are not welling to practice tolerance themselves.
