Most of the population has been reduced to unemployment. This has caused a drop in the standard of living. I have met disheartened Israelis and Palestinians. The on-going colonization only serves to further rouse passions. Human rights are downtrodden.
Torture is committed by both sides.
Unjust situations never lead to peace. It is a sign of contradiction, just like Jesus. There is no true religious freedom. Christians who are Palestinians belong to the arabic culture. But those who can, leave the Holy Land.
