[QUOTE="damselchum, post: 3263446, member: 135160"] A side question from someone who doesn't know much about the whole Israel-Palestine thing. I've read debates on forums before about how to solve the conflict and they all inevitably turned to discussions about who stole what land from who and who owned it before the other etc etc. in the same vein as m1k3jobs' post, why does it matter? Everyone seems to be really hung up on who has the "right" to that patch of land but I find it really hard to believe that either population is going to be forcibly displaced because its not their land, so who cares? Why get so hung up on the history of who screwed the other side over more when the issue now is how they can live together in relative harmony. Kind of undermines that when everyone drags up a few thousand years of history to try and say they have some birth right to a specific patch of earth. As I said I don't actually know much about this whole thing so if what I wrote is very stupid please be nice [/QUOTE]
