East Jerusalem tensions...the beat goes on and on...

Will there every be peace in the middle east? The Israel/Palestinian conflict has been going on for over 60 years with both sides seeming to have justification to perform violent actions that only increase the problems they have not eliminate them. Where is the UN on all this? Why hasn't the security counsel been able to help resolve the disputes they have over land? What are some of the roadblocks to a lasting peace? I'd love for you to send me your responses and links that are useful in answering these questions. You can start with Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's comments found here.

  1. I don't really have a link but i find that one of the road blocks is man's greed. I like to think we all have a little within us, however i think it shows more in others. As for the UN im not surprised that there are being passive, but i think even though if they intervene now, this is still a conflict for land and religion beliefs. So we must take that into account. Essentially, if the UN decides to get involved who's to say that the conflict will end. This conflict has been going on for numerous of years. So i wonder when is it going to be the year that it ends.
