Would it be evil to point out Israel's formation was due to terrorist actions ..... on the British no less.... If my history lessons serve me correctly, Israel was created after the end of the second world war, by the United Nations (League of Nations?) around about 1948, to give them back the land they had been forcibly exiled from for some 2000+ years! Obviously, this upset the Palestinians somewhat. The other major obstacle to be overcome, is that Jerusalem is a particularly important Holy city to the Jews, Christians and Muslims. And human nature being what it is, no side wants to give way . . . although on important religious days, the Israeli's normally allow access to whoever is celebrating whatever religious festival. But that is usually an uneasy peace at best. Could it be the crusades all over again? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehi_(group)www.wsws.org/articles/2003/jun2003/irae-j21.shtml

Is that how they teach American children about the Middle East? I thought they just made them swear allegiance to a flag, sing the national anthem, chant u-s-a u-s-a for a couple of hours ........ and then sent them home!?! LMAO I think you're right on the money there Kieran ;D

If you want to borrow her for a bit you can do at the moment as she's got an upset stomach at the moment. So what's coming out of her looks like a mix of velcro and toxic sludge, and could quite easily be classed as a chemical weapon!!

Both sides of the conflict feel constantly under threat from the other so things like this are always going to happen. There's no respect between Isreal and the rest of the Middle East, and no Western diplomacy can sort the issue unless we use military strength to enforce peace (the irony). I guess we started this all by promising them both the land at the start of WW2.
The thing is, I feel it's more of an issue of pride. The only geographic location which is necessary to either Judaism or Islam is Mecca, and that's not involved in the Israel/Palestine thing. In terms of history and heritage the ground they're fighting over is extremely important to both sides, but not in terms of religion.
