Hi Terry. Conflicts like Israel vs. Palestine will continue for so long as the belligerents on either side argue about who is "right" rather than thinking about winning. As long as supporters of either side fail to understand the difference the dying will continue.


>>I once had a course where my instructor gave the assignment to write a one page paper describing a ping pong ball using only facts. That's all he said. No one passed the test. If you said it was white, he said did you measure it with a spectragraph? If so, what were the results? If you said it was round, you were wrong, becuase it is not. Round describes a two dimensional object, it was spherical - a three dimensional adjective. My point is, newspapers give information, not facts, based on their political leanings. Your sources are filtering the data according to their religious/political/ethnic/etc. perspectives. Don't confuse facts with news.
