I have heard that if you shrank all of the Arab lands to the size of a football field Israel would be the size of a postage stamp on that field. So why is there so much animosity over such a small piece of land ?
I spent almost 3 years in different Arab countries Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain and the UAE (Abu Dahbi and Dubai). All of the Arabs I met were exceptionally courteous and friendly people. None of he Arabs that I knew disliked me for being an American, although they disagreed with our governments support of Israel. Even when they had disagreements I never saw them escalate to the point of violence. Because of this I wondered why there seemed to be so much animosity between the Arabs and the Jews. When I asked my Arab friends about it they always responded that it was the Zionists that they had problems with. I always assumed that the Zionists were just another branch of the Jewish religion, just as Baptists and Catholics are part of the Christian religion.
Later I worked for an Israeli company and met many Israeli (Zionist) people. While some of the younger ones seemed open minded, intelligent and friendly most of the older ones seemed to be arrogant, rude and prejudiced. In less than a year the Israelis completely reversed my feelings about them and the situation in the middle east.
Do you see now the conflict that was in my mind ? I liked all the Arabs I had met, but the Palestinians are Arabs. I liked very few of the Israelis I had met, but I respected the way they retaliated when attacked and still believed they were only defending themselves. Obviously I needed to do some research to find the truth.
I read up on the history of the area, I perused many websites both pro Israel and pro Palestinian. I read about peoples homes being demolished by the Israelis because the government had no building permit on file. People being beaten and killed by the Israeli Defense Force and their only crime is being Palestinian. Farmers and shepherds cannot reach their fields and flocks due to the walls built by Israel for no purpose other than to inconvenience the Palestinians. Pregnant women and wounded people not being allowed to cross Israeli checkpoints to reach medical care. In many of these cases they cannot even file complaints because they are not allowed to cross into Israeli areas, where the government office are located. My research has proven to me that the Zionists are the cause of the problems in the area NOT the Arabs. I am not asking anyone to accept my words as truth. Do your own research and make your own decisions.
Lately there has been a lot of resentment towards Muslims and Arabs due to terrorist acts. I do not condone or agree with terrorism in any way shape or form but I think I am starting to understand its causes. Anyone who kills or injures innocent people is mentally unstable, therefore ALL terrorists are mentally unstable. If the government destroyed your home, stole your land, injured/killed your family, took away your ability to support your family, stripped you of your dignity, made your life a living HELL. What would you do ? My own experiences with Arabs/Muslims have all been positive. I think if Americans would make the effort of getting to know some Arabs they might come to the same realizations that I have.
Having been hard core right wing all of my life I am really uncomfortable being on the same side of any issue as Jimmy Carter, the Clintons and Obama. My whole adult life I had believed that the Israeli/Palestine problem existed because the Muslims hated the Jews. Finally I realized that religion was not the problem.
The real problem is that the Zionists believe that the Holy Land was given to the Jewish people by GOD and they are the only ones who should be there.

Could you please provide me trust address for Palestinian.
