Horror In The Holey Land

            
             Day after day we hear stories of missile attacks, tank attacks, shootings, raids, and.
             suicide bombings occurring in the Holy Land of Israel. Innocent civilians are being murdered on.
             both sides of the conflict. What started as Palestinian demonstrations involving stone-throwing,.
             now has Palestinians facing off against Israeli soldiers with rifles and the deadly explosive.
             devices that they attach to themselves to deliberately blow themselves up and everything around.
             them. Who's right and who's wrong? Can a peace agreement ever be made? What does the.
             future hold for America in all of this? Clearly before all of this can be solved, action must be.
             taken, and blood must be shed. .
             Over the past half year or so, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has become more and more.
             militarized. The Israelis have long maintained the Middle East's most powerful and.
             technological sophisticated fighting force. But the Palestinians are increasingly organized into.
             units that carry out guerrilla attacks and attempt to repel Israeli incursions into Palestinian-ruled.
             territory. Secretive cells employ a low-tech, low-cost form of unconventional warfare: the.
             suicide bomb (Barr, 2001). This seems to be the weapon of choice for most Palestinians. Men,.
             usually around the age of 22, strap around their bodies explosives full of metal and nails, and.
             walk into crowded places, blowing themselves up, killing and injuring all those around them. .
             They feel that by doing this, they may prove some kind of point that may help out their cause. .
             This has been the Palestinians most used tactic of fighting. With every suicide bombing that.
             occurs, Israel finds a way to revenge the lives of each Israeli that is killed by raiding towns and.
             villages with troops backed by tanks and helicopters hunting for Palestinian terror suspects.

             defend themselves in the conflict.
