It's beyond shameful that the Israelis keep the Palestinians in a virtual prison.

Last time I checked the UN created an israeli and palestinian state in 1948. Following the arab led invasion of Israel on the day of it's creation Israel turned the West Bank over to Jordan and Gaza over to Egypt. Following the 67 war Israel said screw it and occupied both lands. In 05 Israel withdrew all forces from Gaza along with the entire Jewish population. Despite being offered a Palestinian state numerous times the PLO has shown to be a less than credible negotiating partner.
I suggest you take a course on the history of Israel before you jump to conclusions. I took one and it opened my eyes...I went from being a pretty ardent supporter of Palestine againt Zionism to much better informed in the matters and much more sympathetic to Israeli "occupation" since then.
