One of the conflicts in the world that has been going on for over six decades and will continue at least for a few more decades to come is the Israel-Palestine conflict. A brief history about this conflict can be viewed in the below link

Some of the atrocities committed by the Israelis during the formation of Israel were brutal and terrible to say the least. Susan Kozma, a Hungarian holocaust survivor, explains Israel's reign of terror in Palestine and beyond in the following link

But Israel continues its reign of terror over the palestinians, how? It is because of the support of its ally the US which turns a blind eye on human rights violations when it comes to Israel. The reasons for the support of US for Israel are many and is explained in the following link

There can be peace in the middle east only when Israel stops using its heavy handed tactics against the Palestinians like creating new settlements in the West Bank, killing innocent civilians in the name of military action against terrorists, isolating Gaza from the rest of the world keeping it as a virtual prison for millions and start a peace process that involves all the parties affected. It includes Hamas, Syria whose land has not been returned since the 1967 Arab-Israeli war and also various other parties involved
