The Israeli/Palistinian Conflict.

[coloradodem2005]

Who are the true bad guys. I know that the Israelis have their burden of the blame, they wanted to do ethnic cleansing of the Palistinians. Though I have also heard that the Palistinians are militant and taught to hate anybody who isn't muslim at an early age. How did this all start and when? I know that there has been issues with Religion. But who were the true aggressors? Forgive me, but I know less about this conflict than any other.

1. The Israelis are the bad guys

they have an army thaqt they use against people with rocks living in refugee camps.

No matter what spinning they do to convince you otherwise, they cannot overcome this simple fact.

2. Sharon and the IDF are a terrorist organization by any definition.

And unlike Saddam Hussein, they have a shitload of WMD's.

4. They're all looney

6. A new

article from the (I know, relatively!) mainstream and major source The New Yorker that I thought deserved exposure ("Editorials and Other Articles"?) beyond the notorious and (perhaps) less-visited I/P Forum. Otherwise, hey I'm learning more these days, but like most Americans my traditional interest in the subject has been along the lines of :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring:
