Actually apologies for the response.
In my opinion there are a lot of Arab/Islam apologists posting already here on FR often presenting themselves as unbiased Americans. I suspected you might be one such person based on your standard of English and the fact that you said you had done a study (and therefore presumably were well informed) yet you didn't specify much information regarding what caused you to be sympathetic to the Palestinians.

To be honest there is a lot of material to be studied before you can get a clear picture of the conflict and its causes.
I would try getting information from various different sources before forming an opinion. Having said that, usually people who have an "opinion" regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict, no matter how well versed they are in history, usually end up taking one side or the other anyway.

I am a Polish-Italian born in Wisconsin cheesehead, so save the evaluation of me BUD. I never knew there were so many intolerant freepers. I politely ask for opinions and insight and I get pompous ##holes trying to come off as intellectuals. Sorry if I didn't use my websters before I posted
