I'm an insufferable-know-it-all-stop-bitching-and-start-a-revolution-girl
i'm so tired of people shooting their mouths off about things they dont understand. they hear one thing and suddenly tehy start name calling and pitying the fool. here what i have to say to you SHOVE IT!!!! sure i can dismiss it and say whatever, but its those kinds of people that spead thigns aroudn like they are true and get other people to support them. PLUS this is my rant spot so....grrrr...so angry.
here is a time line fro the balfour declaration to the Gaza compromise. note: these are the political highlights. mos tof the political happenings from 1917 on were big fat mistakes because westerners dont get middle eastern culture.

The time line, however does not cover the past few thousand years, in which this struggle for land has been raged. The Mideast conflict goes back farther then the creation of Israel after WWII.
the conflict has been raging since the early B.C.'s. The native middle eastern Jews and native middle eastern (Muslims) Palestinians lived in that region of the world (Israel-Palestine) for a long time together in relative tranquility. During the expansion of Rome, the Romans expelled the Jews from Palestine and banished them to Babylon in what is modern day Iraq.
There they stayed till they got the chance to return to Palestine. A while later they (the Jews)were expelled again from Palestine by the invading mongul armies. They returned again and were thrown out again by the crusaders, this time they had made their way to Europe. In the mean time the majority of the Muslim population was allowed to stay in their native land. thus they feel they are the true inhabitants.
This territory belongs to both groups equally even though one group has been 'away from home' off and on throughout history.
Yes, injustices have been done equally on BOTH sides, in recent years. TWO WRONGS DONT MAKE A RIGHT!
The people who live there have built up walls of separation and have nurtured it for so long that its now a conflict of honor, not just land.
There are cultural differences in the middle east and the western world that I'm sorry to say some westerners just don't get. whats 'inhumane' to you is called humanity.
Its no longer all about the land, its about honor and seeing who can win, by force or by sheer perseverance.
okay i'm fine now....i'm going to make a big mug of coco and try and get my AC out of the window.
