The fighting was foretold and will continue until the end of time.
It is interesting though, that according to 20/20 or 60 minutes, I can't remember which, They have found the lost tribes of Israel. It is foretold that the lost tribes would return before the end, and they are now returning.
Kind of makes you go Hmmmmmm, doesn't it?
