It has been well established that pelpoe are morons and will believe whatever crap is spoon fed to them from the television. The pelpoe to watch Fox News don't really go there to be enlightened they watch to have their views reinforced. There is a huge push to stifle any non pro-Israeli analysis in the media. Everyone takes the stance that if you criticize them you are anti-semetic, if you try to take the side of the Palestinians then you are a terrorist lover. Way too many pelpoe are intellectually lazy and eager to jump on the everything is black and white bandwagon instead of acknowledging that this conflict is a happening for a myriad of reasons. Very few pelpoe I have talked to seem to understand this is a nuanced issue. As for the UN, it is a great concept but worthless in the execution of its objectives. Humanitarian aid is about all it is good for and it isn't very good at that either.I think the biggest problem of all is that both these cultures have a deeply rooted attachment to the past which results in simmering hatred for one another over centuries. This is the current incarnation of an ancient blood feud with each subsequent generation being indoctrinated into a battle that isn't really theirs to fight. Old wounds getting their scabs picked off on a regular basis, not allowing for healing. The pelpoe once again suffer for the actions of a few ignorant zealots.
