As with the print and mass media it is much easy to get the Israeli side of the story than the Palestinian side of the story on the Internet. The Israeli side of the story is much more polished and professional presented by the Americas mass media. Only in United States have the Israeli gotten away with labeling the Palestinians as our enemy and terrorists discrediting any of their sources for information. Because most of the Americas have heard the Israeli side of the story often right out of their own mouths. The Palestinian side of the story has been muffled and distorted in the information war in America.

The majority of the Jewish people with money and clout are behind the State of Israel unconditionally. From the very beginning the fight for Israel was well financed and organized by the community of international Jewish people who were united. On the other hand the Palestinian people receiving little united support from their Arab neighbors who have been very divided among themselves on the answers to this crisis. With the exception of condemning the government of Israel actions in there fight for the Greater State of Israel.

Not until the religious extremists are rained in on both sides will we find the answer to this conflict. As the religious Jewish extremists have a great deal of clout in Israeli government so do the Evangelical Christian extremists in the United States. Evangelical TV preachers of war such as Jerry Farwell and Pat Roberson have raised the stakes making us our own worst enemy in the War on Terror. Often the demons are found in the messengers who preach the word of God on both sides of this crisis.

In REALITY, the State of Israel was established in 1948 by a resulution in the United Nations after the expiration of the British Mandate for Palestine which had been in effect since 1918. The UN proclaimed a Jewish Partition and an Arab Partition. The Jews accepted theirs and formed a State; the Arabs rejected theirs and declared war on Israel. The State of Israel was NOT well funded; the jews fought for their lives because they could not afford to lose. Israel is the size of New Jersey; the "Arabs" occupy more land than all of North America.

You are correct. Ninety nine percent of the Pals and the Israelis want peace. But that one percent on each side makes it impossible. Don't forget, Rabin was gunned down by a Jewish fanatic.

This is completely untrue. The worldwide anti-Israel network is vast and pervasive, and the various "solidarity" front groups like the ISM are extremely well organized.

It sounds to me like you have never studied the use of propaganda in any meaningful way because the Arab propaganda is is so well polished as to convince millions upon millions of people that murdering innocent civilians is a form of "freedom fighting".

I would ask David, where are you from? I detect the accent, but the perceiptions may not be correct depending on where you are living?

Which probably explains the current land grabbing going on in the West bank.

For a secure and prosperous State of Israel she will have to change her ways and others will have to follow. For these changes, Israel relationship with her neighbors and the global community will change for the better making it a safer world for everyone. Israel economy currently is too depended on the military industrial complex to defend many of its illegitimate policies and the occupation of the Palestinian people. The safety and security of the State of Israel must be guaranteed without being a threat to her neighbors.

The evolution of the Old World will vary among Israel?s Arab neighbors toward the New World and its ways. This is happening faster among Arab nations such as Jordan, Egypt Bahrain, and Qatar with many of the other Arab nations following at a slower rate of change and acceptance of the ways of the New World. The Jewish people as a culture are very divided where some Jewish people are left behind in the ways of the Old World remaining isolated from the changes of the New World. While other Jewish people remain in the forefront of the New World and it?s ways networking on a global level. It is the clash of these two cultures within Israel and her neighbors that are at the roots to many of the tensions of the world.

A major part of the root to the regional problems is a lack of common sense and the greed of a few blocking what is in the best interest of the masses. The perception and attitudes of the people will change ones the conditions on both sides improve. This will be greatly depended on a stronger regional economy that is more diverse raising the standard of living of the people on both sides. Tourism is the golden key to the prosperity of the people of this region.
