How about this article:

msnbc.com

Movement volunteers tell gripping tales of the long-standing Israeli occupation.
But critics fault the volunteers for their lack of perspective.

In the activists' eyes, the Israelis are brutal overlords, and the Palestinians beleaguered and innocent victims -- a world view that is simplistic and black and white, critics say, and has, at times, led them to become terrorist supporters.


Yes, and how is this any less naive than the commentary on this thread.......that the Palestinians are all evil who blow themselves up at will and want nothing more than to be martyrs?

There clearly is blame on both side, and the American bias against the Palestinians only makes the situation worse.

One thing that always has to be remembered is that Fatah was established in 1957 and the PLO in 1964, quite a bit before Israel took either the West Bank or Gaza.

While Israel has not always been in the right in this conflict, they definitely didn't start it.
