In here you will find a collection of myths, facts and links about the current situation in the Middle-East. These are based on conversations I have had with Jews & Muslims by e-mail and news stories that have appeared in the Israeli, Arab & Islamic press. Primarily the purpose is to expose the misinformation and anti-semitism contained within.
I truly seek a just solution in the Israel/Palestine that allows both peoples to live in Peace, but cannot stand silent when lies are spoken by either side. I am struggling with the validity of this statement written years ago:
"In numerous studies, [social scientists] have documented a deep paradox about human relations--persons get along, but people don't. Encounters among individuals are generally positive, supportive, and rewarding, but those among groups are ordinarily unpleasant and confrontational. What's more, they observe something called "the minimal group effect." Even if people are randomly divided into groups, the groups will automatically discriminate against each other. It seems we can't help ourselves."
