    Ease up on the rancor a tad,

    Keep in mind that most Israelis and most Palestinians are good decent people who just want to live in peace and get along with each other. The same is true of anyone of the three faiths involved who actually are religious.

    We have bad leadership, bad media, bad entertainment, bad weapons and an Industry intent on using our differences in order to trick us into hatred, conflict and war so they can make money at the cost of human lives.

    Don't be hating on people or each other, be hating on the causes and the actions which do not belong among civilized peoples.

    Now back to the argument:

    Get along or try to wipe each other out? How stupid can people be?

    Get along with each other.

    Use the Golden Rule.
