but of course, all the information i've been putting out is all from the time immediately after the second world war. The situation has changed dramatically since then, and both sides have commited utter atrocities to the other.

And both sides will always blame the other and both sides will never admit they've acted like bastards and both sides will never accept a peace which involves making sacrifices or admitting to having been bastards.

And so it goes on. And on. And on.

exactly, the situation has been like this for the past, what, 60, 70, 80 years? and neither side is any closer to coming to a conclusion. If anything, my opinion is that they came closest to reaching a "happy" middle right when the jews first declared statehood. Of course, after the war of independance, the situation has become so volatile and muddled that it's virtually impossible to determine who has more of a claim to the land. Of course the obvious solution would be to split it, but there's such a long history in the area that now, no matter how the country were split, both sides would lose areas that they desperately want to hang on to. funny thing, we havent even BEGUN to touch on the religious motives from either side for keeping territory.

And I know this is an "argument thread", but for the sake of mankind, it's probably best we don't.

agreed, thats one of the aspects that pretty much impossible to come to an agreement over. Bothe sides have entirely equal claim to the area if you look at it from a purely religious standpoint.

you act as though the jewish holocaust refugees were forcing the arabs out of their homes. They were being integrated into ALREADY EXISTING jewish settlements. The arabs protested mainly out of a feeling of anti-semetism.

aside from the fact that at certain instances they were doing exactly that ( which i have read in the subjected article ), i wouldn't care if some other nation inhabited the most barron and lifeless areas in croatia, they would have no right to come into my country, my land, and take over....if you understand where i'm coming from...

Maybe you should just do that anyway instead of making vaguely aggressive posts on the internet.

Just a suggestion like...
