    Is the Israel & Palestine too sensitive an issue to discuss here? I mean the historical rights and wrongs that bring us to this point.

      I think part of the problem with both this and the Troubles in Northern Ireland are that they started centuries ago so the hatred runs deep, butI think part of the problem with both this and the Troubles in Northern Ireland are that they started centuries ago so the hatred runs deep, but people from nowadays are being raised with the beliefs held by their ancestors rather than being aware of the actual reason any conflict first started, and I think this will make it extremely difficult to find a peaceful solution. In relation to religion, in Ireland it definitely is but not sure about Palestine/Israel, I'd need to read up more on it.  More ...

      The problems between Israel and Palestine only really go back to the early 1900s. Mainly after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after WW1

'The modern state of Israel was founded in May 1948 in the aftermath of the Holocaust and Second World War but the conflict that has raged between Israelis and Palestinians since can be traced back much further.

      Historians and commentators offer differing opinions as to when this chapter of history begins. In her series Al Nakba (2008) on Al Jazeera, documentary maker Rawan Damen begins her story with Napoleon Bonaparte, who proposed a Jewish homeland in Palestine as long ago as 1799 in the wake of the siege of Acre during his war against the Ottoman Empire.'

The Old Testament claims God give the land occupied by the Palestine's to the Israelite's. So how do you argue against anyone who is an aggressor, but believing they do it on the instructions of their God. Religion plays a big part of the problems in both conflicts discussed. I think. It does in most conflicts. Regarding the support issue for various attacks and atrocities. Always remember there will be many decent people on both sides appalled by actions taken by others in their name, but who will be terrified to speak out against it. It creates the illusion that silence is support. That is not always the case.   More ...
