I'm sorry to say, but i'm tired of hearing excuses on both sides of this situation. I'm tired of the history lesson here. This place will be a mess for all eternity. Should I even care for people who choose to not care for themselves as people. One trying to hold onto its land, the other fighting for there importance to the land. The sad thing its just land. The earth has tons of that shit.

Is this altogether about land, or is religion at the bottom of it? Seems like when folks don't have a difference of religion, they find a way to work out stuff like land. Unless perhaps the shoe is on the other foot, and when they can't work stuff out they find a religious difference to justify themselves. Either way, religion seems catalytic to these things.

I think it all boils down to power and pride, some leaders dont want to be part of the same herd and they create and use religions to form large groups of people with common ideas and objectives and make sure people dont change their mind by telling them that if they do they go to hell, religion is the best political tool to control our minds especially when planting fear in your mind and take away your freedoms and confidence to think for yourself.

it is not easy to live together even for people who have good intentions they get treated wrong sooner or later and once your life is threatened you cant continue to act nicely, the thing that just impresses me is that I think that we as humans have the capacity to be good to each other however some of us are driven by certain ideas that tell us to always seek for money and power to secure our future ignoring if we do harm to others.

	"Palestinians lose billions to Israeli land bands", says World Bank report
—http://www.thenational.ae/world/middle-east/palestinians-lose-billions-to-israeli-land-bans-says-world-bank-report

At a time when the Israeli economy has shrunk, Israel has denied the land that is necessary for the future economic growth and survival of their neighbors in the West Bank.

Is there a means of procuring the information regarding the grounds for such a denial of rights?
