Israel and Palestine Conflict - Chapter 31

With the history of these two groups under my belt, I have a pretty well understanding of how these two started fighting. Israel was there first but because of famine, moved and in came the Palestine's and the Palestine's have been there ever since. Then Zionists (extremist Jews) came into Palestine to "claim" their land back because it was given to them by the Holy One and is considered the Holy land to the Jews. This is a very sticky situation. If you look at it from the Jewish point of view, they were there first and in the Bible it was their land granted to them by the Messiah. But in Palestine's point of view it's kind of like a move your feet, lose your seat kind of deal. The Palestine's were there for thousands of years and now the Jews expect the Palestine's to move out of their land. I wish I could side with both groups of people because they are both considered right.
