I think the main problem in this conflict is that neither side is willing to take the first step. Also, Jews outside of Isreal and Muslims outside of the middle east refuse to see the other side's story (before you call me prejudiced im insulting myself, im jewish). So like The Dude said, it's going to be one huge never ending circle. With both sides claming that they are the good guys. It's easy to look at the conflict and go back to 1948 and say: Well the land was the Palestinians and it was taken from them. But, it's also easy to look at it like: Half of the jews in the world had just been killed (those words still make my dad never want to visit Germany) and they needed their own country so they went to their ancestors homeland. Basically it comes down to who owned it first and both sides can claim they did and be just as right as the other guys. So no one will ever claim to be the bad guys. And the conflict will never be resolved when the mediator (The US) leans to one side (Isreal).
