Each of the links I've provided below are a must-click-and-read. Know that Israelites are (obviously) far more educated about the situation than we in the U.S. and consequently, there is far more dissention in Israel than there is in the U.S. Before we go and take what the U.S. media spoon-feeds us like we're little babies with no choice but to swallow it, we should educate ourselves about the conflict lest we be of the many ranting ignorant fools who don't know what they're talking about. Disclaimer: The following links tell the untold side of the story because the Israeli side of the story is told literally every time you turn on your radio or television set.
