Just curious to see who you guys side with most often. Kind of controversial subject I know.
Maybe I'll phrase it like this: Who do you think are the real "evil-doers," the Israelis or the Palestinians? Please state your opinion and explain.

There should be an option for both, they are just as bad as each other.
Israel seem to be the Oppressers whereby they impose harsh measure upon the Palestinians, for example, taking up much of there land, engaging them in conflict and simply looking for a reason to attack them. They never try to sort things out by holding serious conferences involving other nations, instead it seems as though they enjoy tormenting them. In the Gaza conflict which began on December 27 2008 Israel swept into Gaza and killed over 1000 people, the vast majority of whom were civilians, stories of cruelty on the part of the israel army reached western ears, the israel army had told civilians to take shelter in a UN building and then shelled it killing and injuring those inside. The palestinians come across as provokers. They give israel an excuse to attack them, what it the point of launching rockets into Israel on a daily basis and then crying out for international help?. It is quite clear that the palestinians as well as several others in the middle east are quite unreasonable when it comes to Israel. Do you remember Mr Ahmedinejad's comment a few years back where he swore 'to wipe Israel off the map'?, this is exacty the sort of thing that prevents progress between the two.
I think what the UN needs to do is somehow force a law enabling them to take Hamas out of power and enforce a transition gonverment of some sort, and do the same with Iran, maybe then we will see them being more tolerant to each other, and acknowledge the right of the other to exist.
