I have always been sympathetic to a nation surrounding by water and enemies, however at this moment in time i struggle to seperate the two sides in terms of the intrinsic approaches to the rpoblem. From what i can see both sides are fuelled by a religious desire to remove the other from "their" land.

Religion-"Religion is but Opium for the masses" and the Muslims in the region seem to be pretty stoned.
Numbers-7 million people in Israel, not all of them Jews, another approx 6-7 million Jews worldwide, as opposed to 250 million Muslims. That's approximately 20833333:1 odds against us.

Using those numbers it would be 20:1 against you. But i thought there were more muslims than that (taking the ratio to closer to 100:1. However, as i have said before, regarding the muslim terrorists, when the cause seems hopeless people fight harder.
Which, i think is part of the problem. Both sides can claim that land. Both sides can even see each other's claims. The problem, i think will only be resolved by sharing it. Building a wall around the land just makes those on the outside want it more.
