Now you have your opinion, but I will say this. I get the sense, and I could be wrong, but I get the sense that you think the fight between Israel and Palestine is brand new, as if it wasnt happening 40 years ago. Sure Israel wasnt a nation till what was it, 1949 or something? But this is a battle between two brothers a long time ago. This goes much farther back than some land they owned around the 1940's. It goes back to Isaac (Jews) and Ishmael (Arabs) the sons of Abraham. This conflict that has continued between these two half brothers for 4,000 years. It won't end, it will only escalate | Think of this then. Say your brother and you are engaged in an ongoing grudge match that has been fairly subtle and not too big for your childhood. Then some stranger comes in and starts beating you up because he agrees with your brother. Thats what the US is doing and always has been doing to every other nation they feel fit to. They arent wanted there and by including themselves in the equation, it becomes a much bigger affair then a "family" problem.
