Misinformed?
Well this is how I see it, after WW2 Britian and the US carved up the ME and placed Israel smack dab in the middle, pissing off the Arabs. Few years later, 6 Day war in which Israel kicked butt, pissing off the Arabs even more. A few years later terrorism starts to rise as a means to fight Israel. Israel fights back, pisses off Arabs even more. US backs Israel, pissing off the Arabs even more. Arabs try to retaliate the best they can using underhanded techniques, pissing off US, Israel, and the western world. People die by atrocities done by both sides, neither side wants to compromise, both sides are hellbent to wipe each other out. It has "Shakespeare Tragedy" written all over it.
Right or wrong, that is how I see it. No one is innocent, and everyone is guilty. If that is being misinformed, oh well, that is how it is.
