Then look at Palestians. Since 1960 they've been jailed into their regions and are being threaten as dangerous pets. Checkpoint here, checkpoint there block people for hours, make it impossible for people to get to their work or visit family. To shorten the the story, take 1 million americans or europeans and put them in the same conditions as the palestians and you'll get more or less the same story. Those people have lost all hope after almost 50 years imprisonment. I'm not saying it's normal they blow up busses or stuff like that but if you got no hope you ain't got nothing to lose and if some wacko tells you then you can go to heaven with 70 virgins or whatever if you blow up that bus it all may sound a bit more acceptable.

it's clear the israeli lobby in america is quiet big and influencial but if they really want a solution the politicians should put aside their own interests (read votes) and work towards a permanent solution in the interest of both groups.

I'm just a european gamer that watches the news (both american and european) and I try to be neutral.


In fairness, the Palestinians and the larger group, the Arab nations in general, received a LOT of money, supplies, and weapons from the Soviet Union during that same period.
