The jews were pushed out of their homeland around 7 A.D. very long ago. Since then they have been persecuted everywhere they went, pretty much. Around the time of WWII, the Zionists (Jews wanting to return to their homeland) were promised they could go back and form their own country, by the U.S. and other countries.
This really pissed off the Palestinians, because some of them were pushed off their own land, which was considered holy to them. Not only that, but the other muslim countries like Egypt were mad, too. There has been a war of attrition going on ever since, with the start of terrorist tactics in the 70's, with airliners being taken control of and people taken hostage. Israel has tried to adapt to the new threats, but it hasn't been easy.

Hard to be brief with such a complicated issue. In modern times, most all Islamic nations are governed by corrupt totalitarian regimes that have sold out their own people's interest to exploit them. They control all information fed to the people and use religion and lies to blame the west and Israel for the suffering and oppression of the people.

OMG! You have a lot of reading to do my dear.
I studied the middle east in school. I still study it now and I can assure you it is not as simple as doing a little research for a last miniute assignment.
Lots of history in the middle east. TONS!
Politics, culture, religion, ethnicities, colonialism all play a factor in middle eastern relations. Then after those, you can pick your group of Semites to talk about.
Good Luck!

most of the real conflict involving islam, is the two major sects involved in islam. the shi'ites and the sunnis, after the death of the prophet muhammed, half of the islamics wanted his successors to be of his blood, the other half wanted it to be whoever they chose for their leader. then they split into the sunnis who wanted it to be a vote kind of deal, and the shi'ites who wanted it to be his descendants.
yeah the continuing conflict between the two is what's causing most of the problems in iraq, iraq's been on the brink of civil war ever since they captured sadaam. why can't them damn cameljockeys just learn to get along?

well the history of the religious aspect is too long to tell you now but most can agree that the conflicts that persist today are lead more by the leaders that diesive their people using the religious diffrenences. it is a fight for power that uses religion as its "justifiable" excuse

West supports Jews who have been hated by muslims since about forever. So muslims then do not like the west mainly christian because of this. Jews and muslims are fighting almost constantly, and U.S. sides with Israel with money, guns, so on.

How about this:
As far as Islam is concerned... everything else is against their religion. When it's against their religion, their religion says they're justified to detroy everything else in defense of their religion.
