The World does not remember that Palestine was one REGION in the world under the Ottoman Empire until Great Britian decided to emperialize/colonize the area in the late 1800's. They created little manageable countries and institute governments in them. Naturally the Residents resented their interference and rebelled. The same area of Iraq, Falluja was the downfall for them in 1918 as it has been for the U.S. in 2006. A quote I remember, but from whom?.. those who forget history are doomed to repeat it! We should spend more time teaching history to todays students so that they are prepared to resolve these ongoing tensions in an enlightened manner.
Read, learn as much you can about the region... how the people lived up until the Balfore Declaration, how they are enduring water shortages caused by neighbors and the answer will come all of us the we need to let this big family resolve its own problems. Even if they are horrific at first, last 100 years till finished.

Geography, history, religion,Jerusalem above all.
Some might say other reasons are the root, such as oil, Israel, terrorism etc, but these are only symptoms of the deeper cause.
Geography- because Jerusalem is situated at the "T" intersection of the greatest ancient highway network in history- the silk roads from Africa, Asia and Europe all joined as one at Jerusalem.
History and religion- because every religion and every powerful state has wanted to control directly (or indirectly) the destiny of this city and land.
Until Jerusalem is a city for all humanity, until the Un recognizes the fact that it needs to show some enlightenment on a 2000+ yr old problem, war will rage in the Middle East over and over.
Don't you think its high time we try something different?

Truth is, most people don't care about history.
There are people who do care, and these people know that the information is widely available
http://www.palestinefacts.org
"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism.
For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan. "
-- PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein, 1977

there are quite some motives for the conflict in the middle East, in the beginning it began with the eu colonization in the middle-jap international locations and the coverage of "divide and triumph over" which international locations like France and England used. the different and the considerable reason is the Jewish Zionist project to triumph over many middle jap international locations (Israeli occupation). the total region hates the Jews because of this conflict which began in 1948. I recommed you to ascertain the Jewish historic previous in the Islamic international, and word how Jews and Muslims used to stay jointly in cohesion. real Islam demands the liberation of Muslim international locations, so that they could be able to assert Islam demands wiping Israel out of the map, i'm affirming the reality. why to lie? yet Islam under no circumstances called for killing those who've distinct faith. and that i imagine that Islam has no problem with peacefull Jews. i imagine too that many Jews have chosen to occupy Muslim lands. besides because the Bible tells the Jews to triumph over Muslim Lands the Quran tells the Muslims to shield them.

In my opinion, it is over the distribution of wealth in the Middle East. Oil is money in the Middle East, but rank and file Iraqis, Iranian and Jordanians don't see it. Only the sheiks and mullahs do.

Second the Muslim extremist cult of evil that's corrupting that peacful religion & brainwashing the innocent youth to violate the tenents of Islam by killing themselves in acts of murder against women, children, & other muslims. The few insane people who believe these things & the somewhat larger number who sympathize with them are making all muslims look bad & destroying their religion by corrupting it for their own political purposes.
