"The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history,
 whether man shall be allowed  to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite."

Middle East Peace:  The Options and Obstacles

Media Spin on the Middle East and American Sentiments...

       Telling one side of the story is not the best way to get at the truth....  Not all of Israel is composed of zealots who have undermined her struggle and not all of Hamas is composed of stereotypical violence.  The real story is more complex....  Most of Israel does not approve of heavy-handed violence and aggression, and most Palestinians see a two-state solution. 
       In the same way, in a different region, we cannot use a wide-brush with Republicans based on the rude behavior of extremists.  Just because some of the Bush administration has condoned torture, brutality, and situational ethics, is no reason to condemn the party itself.  Responsible conservatives need to take back the party from the mean extreme.  
       While some in Hamas are beyond the pale, others seek justice and simply want the occupation to end so they can go on with their lives.  Fear-mongering and finger-pointing are no solution in the Middle East or in  America. 
Here is a good resource...
