Every day we learn cruel messages out of Israel and Palestine. The world cannot watch inactive that killing on both sides since over 60 years. How should each person of us act to create peace in this region ?

Lets take another example of an occupied land where a sectarian war raged on for decades then came to a peaceful end...Ireland....
What happend there was that the southern Irelanders focused upon educating their young and getting them jobs. When they had something to lose, then it wasn't worth joining the IRA any more.
The USA subsidizes Israel to the tune of about $1000 per person per year, and the Israelis are the rich folks in the area. If the US had spent the same amount on the Palestinians over the last 50 years, Palestine would be a center of prosperity and peace instead of being the sore spot of the middle east. Even with this kind of subsidy over the last 50 years, the US would not have spent as many dollars as they have spent on the Iraq war, which is a long way from being over.
The UN has had some success, for example in Cypress, and are now patrolling cease-fires in Kosovo. They may have a role to play, but when the world's last super-power gets the message that it can accomplish a lot more with good will than guns, then perhaps we may at last see peace on earth.

We cannot do much to change centuries of hatred and distrust between the Israelis and the other people in the Middle East (Persians, Arabs, Palestinians).
Many of these people do not want peace. They are holding out for some unrealistic future absolute victory. Twenty years ago, the Palestinians were given an incredible offer. It constituted about 95% of what they could ever hope for. Arafat didn't let his people know the real terms of the deal. He just refused it.
If the Palestinians were serious about peace, they would have accepted the offer, and shown through their future behavior that they wanted to live in peace with the Israelis, at which time the two could stop treating one another like mortal enemies and start cooperating. This scenario could have resulted in both sides getting what they want the most, but no one is accepting anything except absolute victory, and complete subjugation of the other side.
Regarding the UN, forget it. They are too corrupt. Keep in mind that the French, the Germans, and the Chinese were all bought off by Saddam Hussein in the Oil For Food scandal. Saddam bribed these members of the UN Security Council to vote against war. Had they acted honestly, fulfilling the mandate of their 17 resolutions against Saddam, the war against Iraq would never have been necessary. Saddam's regime would have collapsed.
Read the new book, "The UN Exposed".

The Palestinians should be calmed with the portion under their occupation and forget that Israel was ever a part of their territory. The UN in this regard has very little role to play. So long as other Islamic countries are aiding and fuelling the Palestinians, the crisis will never be resolved.

it should make Israel respect all of the UN resolution and They should make sure that Israel withdraws from the land they occupied in 1967.And Palestinians shoul accept the fact that Israel is going to remain there and accept a two state solution.And both,Israelis and Palestinians should learn to live side by side...

Forget about the U.N. America should not take sides. If we hadn't taken the side of Israel all these years, Sept. 11 would never have happened.

read your Bible, perhaps the Koran, too, i am not familiar. it has been written that the Jews will again obtain the Holy Land; the Temple shall be rebuilt. it will not be the will of the u.s. policies. it will not be the will of any Israel/Palestinian accord, nor will it be with a u.n. edict. it will be in the time of God; of Allah.
tell me: politics differ as night does day, but does not the will of the Lord, whatever He be named, stay the same? do we ultimately follow in the beautiful footsteps left to ua? or trample such blossoms down with heavy feet and saturate them with the blood of our fathers; our brothers?

UN can't solve anything. And there is no solution until one of the two factions disappears. That won't happen, then, no solution. I have noticed that one of them just react to the other aggression.
