SharonA,

Again, you demonstrate your ignorance. This conflict is not centuries old. This conflict began when, as a result of the British turning their back on the Palestine protectorate and dumping the bloody mess they'd made into the lap of the newly formed United Nations, the area was partitioned, the Zionists declared Israel a state, a civil war ensued, etc etc--all of which happened between the end of WWII and 1950. Hardly "millenia"!

The many United Nations resolutions passed since that time have been quite clear. If Israel would simply comply with those resolutions, rather than continuing to engage in conquest of the Palestinian lands, we would have peace in the Middle East. I agree with Bobert. Stop focusing on suicide bombers, and start focusing on the historic precedent set this week by the Arab League's declaration of intent to accept Israel as an equal neighboring state. And the United Nations resolutions. And world opinion.
