Check out these sites to learn more about the situation and how it began: http://israelipalestinian.procon.org/viewtopic.asp, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli-Palestinian_conflict, http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/static/in_depth/middle_east/2002/voices/
Answer some of the questions above, but try to do so in an informed way. Im looking for effort and knowledge. Learn more than you know and then share your thoughts. The first link (above) is an awesome and short summary of the conflict. It represents both sides. Check it out.

I think that the U.S. should not try to help with the Israeli and Palestinian conflict. The conflict is between Israel and Palestine. There is nothing that we can do to change it. So why try? I believe that the land should be divided between the two. They are both living on the land, so whos to say that it belongs to one and not the other? It belongs to both of them whether they like it or not. I can see both sides of the situation and I know it must feel unfair to have someone "take" something you feel is yours. how ever I dont support one side over the other. I believe that if both sides could sit down and come to a compromise they will find peace,but that isn't goin to happen until the people having the discussion can stop being stubborn.

i think the land belongs to both parties because none of them actually had a proove that the land belonged to them. true they had papers saying that they were the fisrt one that was there but there is nothing wrong with livin in peace in one country. the land is just a land and nothing more and doesn't matter whos the boss or something. they have to think about the childrens and teens. the way that the both parties act is like the only thing they want is to be superior and boss the other partie around. they have to see that is not good to kids to see what their seeing now and hating each other. i don't support neither one of the groups because their are acting selfish. they only see things trough their eyes and wants to control everything. i don't think so peace is on the middle of this two groups, its like thier blind and they don't care about their people and kids.

I think the United States should try to stay out of this situation, but if they must get involved they shouldn't pick sides. The U.S. should attempt to connect with both sides and find a solution that is convenient for both sides. The best solution in my eyes is dividing the nation into two seperate states and let them do what they want. Many proposed that the Gaza Strip and West Bank would be a suitable landmark for the division. I think that there will be peace if both sides settle their problems instead of argueing and fighting.

I think that the U.S should side with the Israelis to try to keep jerusalem as the capitol of israel.it should be israels.the peace deal should be just everyone trying to live with each no matter the religon. I dont suport 1 side over the other. I dont think theyll find peace becouse they they dont belive in the same ways of life

i think that the unted states should not interfear in the conflict between israelis and the palestinians beacause this conflict has been goin on over centurries.the only think i think the untied states should do is help with the border control to make it better.
       The land should belong the the jews because originaly they conquered it first. My personla opinion is that the land should be split into two states, like that everybody would have theis own land
    both sides are right and both sides are right. the jews have reason to want at least a piece of land because the jews first arived and conquered the land, and they were force out to go look for a new place to live. once the jewws left the muslims moved in but the jews came back. i think because they both live in the same country they should make it a two-state
     in my opinion the conflict will never end because this confilct is being going on for centuries, and the confilct is the strong as it was before

MyAnswer:
i think the u.s should help resolve thwe conflict between israelis and palestinians.but if we can't subside it try and let them deal with it on their own.the land shou8ld be theres to share you they should all be able to visit both sides without getting searched.a peace deal is that they will learn to get along until they notice something is wrong. they shouldn't use it against each other.yes i can see both sides of the situation. i stay neutral because i think there fighting and agruing over something that doesn't mean any thing now.maybe they will find peacce no one will know..

The US shouldn't be involved in the conflict. We always get involved but when we have a problem, no one really wants to help us. We always try to help others before ourselves, but we need to focus on us too and not just others all the time. The land is everyones. They all have a right to live there. The US is a home to millions of cultures so why can't they have more than one culture as well? If the US could manage then im sure they can too. I do see both sides of the situation and i do not support one side more than the other. I'm sure if they set aside their differences and stop the violence and discrimination completely they could find a peaceful solution.

1. The U.S,just wants to be nosey and feel they need to be a part of everything when thats wrong because we have other major things to worry about and qour ecnomoy is just getting outrageous. We shouldnt really worry about their lands and who it belongs too. Just help out and and maybe settle out a sharing type of land.

I think the US shouldnt really pick a side. I think the US should stay neutral with both the Israelis and the Palestinians, and try not to get in the middle of anything. I think that they should both share land, and let people choose where they would like to live. Or I think that they should split it evenly and allow the people to decide on where they would like to live. A peace deal they should agree upon would have to be sharing the land. I definitely dont take either side of the situation. I think maybe someday the Israelis and Palestinians will find peace with each other, hopefully. smile

I can't say I agree with one side more than I do with the other. At one point in time both of these cultures held claim to Israel. I think that much of the conflict could be due to the fact that other countries are interferring. I think that the faster the U.S. stops taking sides that they will have more of an equal playing field. I think that the only way to completely stop any fighting in between them is to divide Israel into two equal sections and give each side a half. Jerusalem can be part of both countries and that way neither side can be barred from visiting the capital.

i believe that the only way the will find piece is if they came together and lived together this will settle the dispute of whose land it is. They will be such a better and more peceful place to raise there children and to just live.

I think the United States should try to stay out of this situation, but if they must get involved they shouldn't be picking sides. The U.S. should atleast attempt to try to connect with both sides and find a solution that is best for both sides so that they can get along. The best solution I believe would be separating the nation into two seperate states and let them do what they want and mind their own business. Many said that the Gaza Strip and West Bank would be a suitable landmark for the division. I think that there will be peace if both sides settle their problems instead of arguing and fighting and they should all just get along. It will save everyone the trouble of conflict and war.

I think that the US should try to help the conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians by making peace with them and showing them that they can to. I think that they should share the land with each other and just make peace. I think the peace deal between the both sides should show how everything should be shared and both sides should be able to go on either side of the land and they should share things that one another dont have so that they can be equal and try to be less diverse. I can see both sides of the situation to a certain extent. no i dont support one side more than the other. i hope they do find peace with each other but i honestly dont know if they will find peace.

In the case of the conflicts between the Isrealis and the Palestinians I am nutral. I completely undertsand the terretorial stand each group is taking futher prolonging this conflict, but what i do not agree in is the violence as a result of this. As and observer I believe that the United states should certainly remain nutral also. I believe this because by sideing with one party, hostility with the other groups and ther allies will result in a much greater conflict. As for who should gain possession of the land, I think that this conflict will never be peacefully so tolerance should be practiced.

I think the US shouldnt get involved in other countries problems because that will only give us more problems. Therefore I dont think the US should do anything at all. I think the leaders of both groups should come together and decide that for themselves and come out with a solution. That each side gets land that they can rightfully call theirs or join both people as one. I can put myself in ones position wanting land but it has to come to an end somehow. I cant say im taking anyones side of this matter. I think something major is going to happen before they can finally find peace.
