 "Instead of attempts to separate artificially Palestinian/Arab from Israeli/Jewish views in different corners, IMHO it is better to some up with a list of grievances and then describe them as claim/counterclaim. It is wrong to leave the reader without the view from the other side." 

 I agree with this point, and think that doing this would reduce some of the redundancy of the article... (i.e., mentioning that Israel/Jews view the Palestinian right of return as not viable because they won't live in peace... and mentioning it every time the Palestinian refugee situation is brought up... way too much). 

 I do not, however, agree that moving the "issues" section to a separate area should be done... why?  Because the history section focuses largely on the past, but the issues section often discusses current issues in slightly more depth. 

 So, I think that reorganizing the views section into each point would be good. 

 A few points: 

 1.  There is no need to, for example, present lots and lots of quotations, as is done in the quote section and as is done in the Arab aggression section... I think we all know that we could probably find many quotations from each side saying many different things... a few quotes from a few primary players is probably sufficient.  I was planning to find counterbalancing quotes from ben-Gurion, etc, but, really... what's the point of having like a dozen quotes from each side?  It's just too much. 

 2.  The primary argument should be presented first... when I first came to this topic, and others, I found that, for example, in the Settlement argument it started off by saying something like "Isrealis do not believe that Palestians are justified in..."  The position should start off with the main controversy (e.g., "The construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank is a flash point because...") AND THEN follow with the rebuttals. 

 3.  The issues should be presented one after another for each side... in other words, it should not be all the Israeli views and then all the Arab views, but should be presented one after another.  It's important to remember that NPOV, in my opinion, also means presentation on the page. 

 So, why not go ahead and try to reorganize the views by point... It would be best if you did this without first adding any new content... i.e., lets work with the content that we have and first try on grouping things together without adding new content... adding new content will just complicate things.  I suppose it is best to start doing this in that sandbox/rewrite area that Vinditas proposed.
