Hey all, I have been doing some research about the middle east. These are some things I have found. Could you give me some more RELIABLE & UNBIASED links about the issues in the middle East. I want to hear from everyone, Muslims, Jews, Christians. Everyone, so I can see both sides of the proverbial "coin" Thanks I am looking forward to your input about the violence in the middle east.

Okay all. I am asking for references. Other places to look. This is not a political Forum. But it is obvious there is a dispute between Arab Countries and israel. I want to read about it so I can get a better understanding. Please give me links or suggest books or news paper articles to read on my own. I think that we are all ignorant as a whole about the situation and it would serve us well to become well versed on the goings on in the middle east from ALL points of view. I want to read up on it so I can form my OWN opinion. Only reliable references please, website links (in english), books, news paper articles, journals, text books, magazine articles, etc.
FROM ALL POINTS of VIEW!
Thanks for your help.

I have trying to get the same kind of information to give to the youth I teach in my Bible class. I found some very interesting reading at this site...I was shocked when I read how the name "Palestinians" came to be! Check it out!

You must be thinking this war is about a little insignificant dirty piglet zionist soldier, the dirty Zionists have been preparing for this attack months earlier and was constantly pushing for it, with the goal of destroying the Hamas infrastructure and its government. They are the one who initiated an escalation on 8 June when it assassinated Abu Samhadana, a senior appointee of the Hamas government, and intensified its shelling of civilians in the Gaza Strip. Governmental authorization for action on a larger scale was already given by 12 June, but it was postponed in the wake of the global reverberation caused by the killing of civilians in the air force bombing the next day.
The abduction of the Zionist pig soldier released the safety-catch, and the operation began on 28 June with the destruction of infrastructure in Gaza and the mass detention of the Hamas leadership in the West Bank, which was also planned weeks in advance.
Pigs And Apes, phallic and Tyrants worshipers, the scum of the earth.
The mightiest army in the Middle East has no military answer to the home-made rockets. One answer that presents itself is what Hamas has been proposing all along, and Haniyeh repeated this week - a comprehensive cease-fire. Hamas has proven already that it can keep its word. In the 17 months since it announced its decision to abandon armed struggle in favor of political struggle, and declared a unilateral cease-fire (“tahdiya” - calm), it did not participate in the launching of Qassams, except under severe Israeli provocation, as happened in the June escalation. However, Hamas remains committed to political struggle against the occupation of Gaza and the West Bank. In Israel's view, the Palestinians elections results is a disaster, because for the first time they have a leadership that insists on representing Palestinian interests rather than just collaborating with Israel's demands.
This war will run out of control until - as has so often happened in the past - Israel itself calls for a ceasefire and releases prisoners. Then the international big-hitters will arrive and make their way to the real Lebanese capital Beirut and appeal for help. And prisoner swaps is all that will come of this.
In January 2004, for example, the dirty zionists freed 436 Arab prisoners and released the bodies of 59 Lebanese for burial, in return for an Israeli spy and the bodies of three dirty zionist soldiers.
As long ago as 1985, three the dirty zionist soldiers captured in 1982 were traded for 1,150 Lebanese and Palestinian prisoners. So Hizbollah knows - and the dirty zionists know - how this cruel game is played. How many have to die before the swaps begin is a more important question.
What is also clear is that for the first time the dirty zionist is facing two Islamic Mujahideen Armies - in southern Lebanon and in Gaza - rather than nationalist guerrillas.

The only reason why there is a conflict, is because after WWII, the Jews felt that they needed a safe state to live without being persecuted. The Untied Nations granted them Israel (which, at the moment belonged to the Muslims). So, if you really think about it, the Jews should not be there in the first place. Israel does not belong to them. That is like a bunch of Brits complaining about some sort of problem, and since America was originally "theirs" the UN decided to dump them all in USA and say that the land is now theirs.

More like Islam vs. Jews & Christians.
"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. "
- Qur'an 9:29
"The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth! "
- Qur'an 9:30
Look at 9:29 and 9:30 in the following link.

I think Yahoo answer is not the right way to look at both sides of the coin,, you must know that Yahoo answer users are most of them Against Islam because of the brainwash they are into in their countries,, only a bit of Yahoo answer users are Muslims,, so you'll not equally get the right answer for what you are looking for.

This is the same scenario that started WWI. If anything, we should stay out of it.
