2) I previously posted a rather long collection of facts regarding the background of the current conflict in Israel. I will not do so again, but invite you to see them yourself at the site http://www.facts4peace.com/ .

It's an interesting site, Adam. My main complaint is that no sources are presented other than the Bible (which is a book of faith, and not really a history book) on the facts page. Not to mention, the site doesn't mention how much aid the State of Israel receives from this country.

3) The government of Ehud Barak offered 95% of the West Bank, virtually all of the Gaza Strip, and half of Jerusalem- the Israeli capital city- to the PA in part of a peace deal. To put this in context, imagine if the US ceded back to the various Native American tribes 95% of the land in the United States, plus 50% of Washington, DC as their capital. Sound good? Remember: we all live in a country which was taken, lock stock and barrel, from indigenous peoples, peoples who had had dominion here for <b>far</b> longer than the Arabs had dominion over Israel.
