No worries, I am fairly confident of my writing and research skills, but the subject at hand is a very broad one and due to my procrastination I haven't come up with a suitable topic to fill 30 pages, so any suggestions would be great, regardless of their complexity... Thanks!

Despite religious differences and teritorial disputes, Israel and the rest of the Middle East have some startling similarities -- a common history, some cultural similarities, culinary restrictions (pork), geographic commonalities. The Balkans are another part of the world where such similarities are ignored in favor of religious and contrived ethnic differences. Ultimately, the key to lasting peace is not merely the resolution of territorial borders and the increase in religious tolerance, is the realization there are many similarities as well.

Let me give you a topic from the front lines of Iraq. I have lived this war for 7 months now and have yet to hear subjective coverage of the separation of Kurdistan and Iraq. That's right, there's a whole half of Iraq where soldiers don't need weapons, armored vehicles or even body armor. The Kurdish people in majority want nothing more than to separate and live their own lives.
True story: while walking through the city of Sulymani yesterday we ran into an Australian girl and an American man on vacation - in IRAQ! This is not the exploding Baghdad you see on CNN, and these are not the gun-toting extremists you read about. These are great people with so much to offer and so little support for their cause, when all that cause is is becoming an independent nation.
... hope this help.

I recently read a very interesting book titled "The Mountain of Israel" by Norma Parrish Archbold. Book Description: "Acclaimed on five continents as the book about the Arab-Iraeli conflict that every believer should read, some 60,000 copies of The Mountains of Israel have been sold in English, Norwegian, Spanish, and Telagu. German and Hebrew translations are yet to be printed. " I'm told Norma was a writer that was ambiguous until she did some thorough research, which amazed her. It's a most informative book regarding the conflict with the West Bank and Arab-Israeli peace negotiations. With all that daily in the news, this is certainly a subject on which each one of us wants to be informed. Best of success to your writing!

start with the history just after world war 2 - believe me it will be easy from there because it is the beginning. if you follow events from that point it will be easy to get 30 pages when you reach todays current events- or you can do this Israel from a Jewish perspective 15 pages - palestine from a Palestinian perspective 15 pages

Kevin, do you really think all women in the Middle East are viewed that way? If you do, sad...
Talking about the condition of women is one thing, but writing what CNN told you to write is something else.

How about their view of women as sub-human, or subservient-it is in their holy book the Koran, the person below me should do just that.
