Maybe a website dedicated to this conflict from its very beginning? One that represents both viewpoints and does not have any bias to either group. Thanks.

The Israelites have been a people for 4000 years. The Palistinians have been a people for 2000 years. Moving to the modern era both lived in the same area as neighbors without conflict and both started movements for statehood in the late 1870's. Both gained mild support which was interrupted by WW1. Both movements restarted and gained strength in the League of Nations and other forums. After the interrpuption of WW2 the atrocities against the Jewish people coaleced into enough momentum that the UN passed Resolution 651. (not sure on the number) This established BOTH Israel and Palistine. Typical of negotiations neither got all they wanted. The Jewish people voted to accept. The Palistinian people voted to reject. They did so based on advice and/or promises from other arab nations. The immediate war on Israel failed and the Palistinians were left swinging in the wind as refugees. They have been used as poltical pawns ever since.
Their situation could have been resolved by TransJorden (which was what the land area was part of before the statehood for Israel and Palistine) welcoming them. That would be like Georgia welcoming Floridians. Perhaps the UN would have agreed to another vote by the Palistinians on accepting statehood. But here we are 58 years later and what? 3 major wars amid the constant conflict with next to no change. Eygpt under Sadat reached peace with Israel and Jordan also. But the pawns are still swinging held up as victims with no help or even any intent of help from their friends.

If there is one I have not found it. I know that Honestreport.com is good and shows where the "un-bias" media is in error when they report on Israel but that is about it.

Not even. There's plenty on the shelf outside common knowledge. Don't fret. The solution is at hand. We must all prepare for it outside of miserable little politics.

About as likely as me sprouting daisies up out the top of my head. But hey, if you find anything, please let me know, my faith in humanity could use a booster shot.
