It's land they are fighting for.Both Israelis and Palestinians think they have the right to that land.it all started during the WW2 .Read more at:http://domino.un.org/UNISPAL.NSF/561c6ee353d740fb8525607d00581829/aeac80e740c782e4852561150071fdb0!OpenDocument
As for the Americans I think they shouldn't support Israel as much as they do.It's not like Israel it's just a "poor victim " as they are trying to convince us.They are killing many civilians and the only think that protects them from being punished by the UN is US.They voted against many sanctions to Israel...

The state of Israel was formed by the United Nations over 50 years ago to allow the people of the Holocaust to have a permanent home. At the time, the land that is now Israel was a wastelan. Then the Israelis made it a modern state in short order. Palestine has never accepted the fact that Israel has the land, and they cannot stand it that they are an armed, modern state. It's as simple as that.

After WW2, The Jewish people were displaced persons and many of them got on ships and went back to what has become Israel with the blessing of all of the Allies.There were some who didn't want them there and fighting ensued. Israel became a country and all of a sudden the Arabs that nobody wanted either decided that they were Palestinian. There never was a Palestine nor Palestinians. They fought over the same pieces of land and are still fighting. (this is the simple version of a very complex problem)

The basis of this problem is the basis of most other conflicts in the world, its called Islam. Please dont take this the wrong way, I'm not saying that Muslim people are bad, warmongering people, but the cause is overzealous suicide bombers, right? Well, theres the answer.

It is based in religious intolerence and scriptural perversions. I'm not sure it can be solved at all, much less on Yahoo!

The main problem is " too many people telling both parties what to do?"

The Arab world will not tolerate Jewish independence or Jewish self-defence. It's against everything they believe in.
