Have you ever wondered why people in the Middle East just can't seem to get along? Have you asked yourself what was really behind the September 11, 2001 attack on America?

Way back in 1905, an Arab nationalist wrote:

Upon the final outcome of the battle between these two peoples [Arab and Jew], representing two opposed principles, the fate of the entire world will depend.

That final outcome may be determined within the next few years. If America and the world cannot deal with the current situations well, we may lose the world we know, perhaps a lot sooner than we imagine. There are no easy solutions, but an understanding of the problem is critical.

The best and most interesting information I've found on the subject is summarized in this 94-page booklet. It's information I think every voter should have.

The entire book can be accessed by clicking "Text in PDF" to the right. If you'd like a paper copy, let me know. I can send you one for $6.50 including shipping.

There are numerous web sites with much more information that is available in this book. The following are among those I found most interesting and useful:

Walid Shoebat (Palestinian)
The History Place
Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Jewish Virtual Library
Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI)
Mideast Web
Palestinian National Authority
United Nations: The Question of Palestine
