25 Sep 2004 @ 03:39, by John Ashbaugh To my well-informed friends at NCN, I have a request. I am currently teaching a composition course in argumentation, and part of the quarter’s requirement is to write a basic research paper. I’ve asked my students to submit their proposed topics, and one of them is interested in developing an informed opinion on the issues between the Israelis and the Palestinians. I would like to direct him to a few websites that can provide him with some balanced and reasonable perspectives on the issues involved. I know several of you are quite well versed in the deepest complexities of the history in this area. Where does one who doesn’t know much more about it than what he might find in the daily newspaper go to begin his self-education in this domain? Here is his proposal. [.Israel and “Palestine” have been at each other’s throats for many years. From the return of Jews to Israel after WW2 to the “Six day’s War” to the now being formed wall in the West bank to keep terrorist Palestinians out of Israel, the conflict has raged for at least decades. I wish to research what drives these people to such extremes and get information from both sides of the question to gain an informed opinion on the whole “crisis.”]

to many sites, but even what I feel is the most balanced and honest (historically and currently) online resources, you might think otherwise. Are you open to my suggestions? If you want books, I can also recommend one excellent one that covers the entire thing, complete with documentation.
