I spend far too much time discussing the Palestine situation, so I won't say too much on it. (This is what happens when one's potential girlfriend is half-Palestinian.
)
But to sum up my basic views on the situation, both sides have claims, but the Palestinians have the more valid one, in my opinion. There is a general consensus that Israel should never really have formed. However, it would be unjust now to remove the Israelis, and blame them, so to speak, for the sins of their [Zionist] fathers. What needs to happen is for both sides to put down the weapons, and start negotiotions with all cards on the table. Basically, put the past and their differences beside them, and come to a realistic compromise, and maybe even a merging of the two nations. There are obvious complications, but words will do better than weapons.
