This stupid simmering conflict has been going on for half a century, and dominated the news.

Why does the world care about such a stupid pissant little section of the world? They are fighting over such a small piece of land, why do we care? It's their business! Stop sending aid to Israel and Palestine, let them fight it out.

Now thats just my gut reaction.

But I guess because the whole region is a political tinderbox for oil producing countries nearby, I guess it has to be at least seem to be dealt with by the United States.

Oh yea, it's also a holy land, which frankly this section of the world is the source of so much conflict past and present that I'd rather they sow the land with salt and kick everyone out.
