this is, of course, an oversimplification of history. it doesn't take into account zionist fanaticism (excuse the redundancy), personal grudges, internal grievances or a score of other factors; but the basic historical framework is there. i'm no islamic apologist or liberal coward willing to roll over at the first hint of trouble, but i do believe that any answers to our current predicament will be found by understanding and rectifying the cause and not by demolishing the symptom.

well i feel much better now. maybe my mood can change now.
Absolutely a voice of reason amidst the chaos. My feeling exactly. It is up to the intelligent beings on all sides to settle our differences. What we have now in charge on both sides, are extremests. Lets start thinking for a change, towards a change. There must be some semblance of intelligence left in the world that advocates a peaceful solution to our differences, maybe someone will step up.
