I pretty much agree with most of what you said (to an extent, for example, bad grammar pisses me off... so I don't entirely agree with your first point) except the whole israel/palestine thing...
As a Jew, I have, whether I like it or not, been immersed in the whole conflict. It's just not as simple as you make out. I want it to stop, obviously, but neither side will be willing to make sacrifices- there is so much at stake. Heaps of people get pissed off with me (and by people, I mean specifically JEWISH people) because I'm not all "jews have the right to a homeland because of this and this and this and i don't care what happens to the palestinians they're all evil terrorists whose children should be shot." Seriously, so many people think that way (and by people, I once again mean JEWISH people). I just think that both sides have done horrible things to one another, and we can only begin to find a solution if we rid ourselves of the hostility. Peace would be good, but realistically it's not going to happen. Little Palestinian children hate little jewish children, and vice versa, even though neither have met someone from that particular religion. It's fucked.

I say that it's all religion's fault.
