The trouble is, most people who get involved in this in some way tend to get moralistic and judgemental and preachy. While that attitude would be fine and appropriate in Sunday School and catechism class, we're dealing with 3 major religions, all of whom claim to have the same origins, worship the same God and has mostly the same prophets.The level of paranoia is such that I'm willing to bet that some Islamic militants are stirring up violence and strife just because they think, Christianity and Judaism is ganging up on the 'new kid', Islam. Then again, this might actually have some truth in it, as Israel and its military are a direct result of American and British actions. A lot of the Palestinians feel that their side is misrepresented most of the time and that the Western media, which is one of the most powerful and influential groups of any kind in the modern world, are biased towards Israeli (and therefore, American) opinion. This makes any action taken by Palestine into a terrorist act, and any action taken by Israel into a counter-terrorist one. For all the postulating and theorizing the Western media has spewed on this subject over the decades, I still believe the surface has not even begun to be scratched, and that this serious, major conflict which should have been resolved ages ago has been painted as some kind of Counter-Strike deathmatch videogame and it will remain that way as long as there groups or indiviuals who will profit or benefit in some way from strife and specifically this particular strife. Not much can be done by mere mortals now, most activists who participate in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict end up being run over by Israeli tanks or slaughtered by Palestinian militants.
