I'm afraid peace in the Middle East is a dream for the most optimistic to carry in their hearts, but I don't see how it'll ever happen.

It is sad but those people have never in their life had peace and prosperity.

Looks like the Israeli Army is on a roll.

It's really bullshit from everyone around there, leaving the civilians to get caught up in it.

Screw the U.N. for ever creating Isreal out of that area in the first place.

Bright idea huh? Let's kick a group of people out of, not only their home, but a place of worship, then let's bring in a group of people with a different religion, to occupy this "holy" area!

Great idea!

Now, we have nothing less than a crusade, only on a much more rag-tag terror level.

Well, the Jews were already there, and the idea was to create a separate homeland for both the Jews and the Palestinians. And remember, it was created a few years after the holocaust. As I understand it, none of the other Arab countries wanted the Palestinians either. That said, I dont know if there will ever be peace in that area of the world..

Dude...your history is esentially correct. The Arab countries surrounding Israel did't give a damn about the Palestinians prior to the creation of Israel and after starting (and losing) 5 wars against Israel, they lack the will to wage war with a country that only wants to be left alone. So they do it the cowards way through acts of terrorism. And since Israel has a significant nuclear arsenal, Damascus, Cairo, Tehran, etc don't want to end up in a mushroom cloud.

Lets all remember that the world, including America and the middleastern countries did nothing to prevent or stop the genocide of the Jews. I often view much of the middle eastern countries as immature with their endless demands on the world, non-stop "jihads, fatwahs, calls for holy wars, etc" at the slightest perceived offense.

Ok...I'm done now...climbing off my soapbox...
