After World War Two the British had the problem of where to put all the Jewish people who had survived the war. The Jewish people up until this time had no real designated place they called their own country, in fact they didn't have one at all. So the British told them that they had two choices, either they can have lands in Africa, or Palistine, mainly because Africa and Palestine at the time were under British authority. The Jews took Palestine, and Palestinian people were basically homeless overnight. However something I have not seen discussed is the fact that the Jewish people, and the Palestinians bombed the British bases to push them out of the country. Eventually the British decided the area wasn't worth the aggrevation and left the two to their own discord. Since then the Jewish people and the Palestinians have been going at it left and right. So in turn neither the Palestinians nor the Jewish people are the saviors or the villains. The Palestinians want the lands that were taken from them back, and the Jewish people want to keep it only because of its religious value. Seems only to me that religion is the terrorist here. Otherwise, would any of this really be occuring?
