This issue is really personal for me. Not because I'm Israeli or Palestinian, but because my family suffered like both of these groups.
Unfortunately, we're caught in this cycle of violence with no end in sight. Complicating matters each side forces you to choose their side, or be labelled an evil person. Turns out we don't have to choose one side or the other. Instead we can choose the American side. As a matter of fact, the American side holds all the "cards". So the question isn't what should the Israelis or Palestinians do, the question is what are we Americans going to do?
