Resolutions to the conflicts Israel has with its neighbors are complicated for many reasons. Lasting peace requires a willingness to compromise and to stick to agreements made, which is extremely difficult politically. The moral questions are not that difficult. Do Jewish and Palestinian people have a right to live in their holy land? Yes. Do they have the right to unlawfully occupy land, murder or terrorize or torture their neighbors? No.

both sides will say they "murder" or "terrorise" as a defence. that’s where the moral question comes from and proving "who shot first" etc.

I applaud your good-fauth engagement with GP. Honestly I thought that calling conflict in the middle east "black and white" had to be either subtle humour or outright trolling.

>it's been going on since the inception of Israel

It's been going on ever since at least Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have been warring over who controls the Holy Land. Remember the Crusades? Or the Holocaust?

I'm not sure if it's even worth going all the way back to ancient Egypt's involvement even further back seeing as there's so much on the dinner table already.
