Why some people vehemently side with the Palestinians will always be beyond me, but I still respect them and what they have to say.

I think the biggest problem regarding the Israeli/Palestinian dilemma is that people do takes sides rather than trying to understand both sides of the equation equally.
And more often than not, those who so vehemently support their side are often blinded by subjective rhetoric which in a lot of cases can be reduced to propogandist nonsense.
Unfortunately those who take that stance never really see the forest for the trees, and will continue argueing points no matter how misguided or just plain false their version of the so-called facts are.
But then again, people will believe what the want too believe. The sad part is that alot of people who have chosen one side over the other have done so because they have been convinced by the aforementioned subjective rhetoric which unfortunately has become the norm.
I think that a large part of the blame lies squarely on the media for spinning the truth, that is if the spin was true or even somewhat factual in the first place.
