If you talk to Israelis, they deny that that there were any arabs living in the Levent prior to 48, when the facts show that almost 800,000 people were forceably removed from that area to make way for Jewish settlers.
This is a legitmate cause of tension, and I believe that the Israel biblical basis for Zionism is just as racists and problem causing as say the KKK's ideas for segragating the US.
Both sides teach that god gave them that land, and both sides point to dusty books that back them up.
Untill bronze age folklore is not used as a basis for nation building, neither side will know peace.
But I still say the Arabs have a valid reason to be angrey, almost 800,000 people displaced to make way for more Europeans.
That and over 800 new illegal settlements have been built since 9 11, Sharon is thumbing his nose at the Arabs. He knows he has the biggest kid on the block backing him up.
This in no way endorses Palastinian terrorism, but I do understand why they are pissed off. And the UN failed them, the arab world exploits them, and their own leader uses them. And they see their former houses being lived in by the people that force them to cross borders to work, living a great life style, while they live in squalor. This is a perfect recipy for creating suicide bombers.
