It is regrettable that more people don't know the reality of this situation and are only influenced by a biased media. Just more of the dumbing down of America. engineer01 has clearly stated the reality of the Palestinian/ Israeli conflict.

There are only two things wrong with this- 1. Israel didn't exist as a nation until 1948 (unless you count ancient Israel 2000 years ago). 2. Palestinians didn't exist either as a defined group until the establishment of state of Israel. On a related note: The surrounding arab states have refused to integrate them into their states, preferring to have them live in "refugee camps" as a constant source of conflict with Israel without having to waste their own money or manpower. This conflict will only be resolved by the conplete defeat of one side or the other. If the Israelis insist on staying alive, and the Palestinians insist on killing them, one side has to prevail. You cannot sit on the fence- anyone who claims that both sides are equal are really rooting for the Palestinians. If you'd like the destruction of Israel, just say so- it's one of the (only) two options. “hundreds years of oppression upon the Palestinians by the Isreali military” Huh?
