I don't agree with John that it is primarily a religious
conflict. The fight of the Palestinians is over land and
freedom they have lost continuously over the last five or six
decades up to the present time. I do agree that once conflicts
like this start they take on a momentum of their own. What I
don't understand is why we don't take more of an attitude as in
Yugoslavia and demand an end to hostilities, enforce it by UN
troops where necessary, and partition the land and resources in
question equitably. Both sides have more than adequately proved
they cannot settle this conflict in any reasonable manner (to
say the least).
