Clarino,
If one only bases their opinion on the middle east on 10-20 second sound bites from the mainstream press, one might see how you came to that conclusion. Thnigs aren't that simple. Peace is the last thing in the hearts of the Hamas, Fatah and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (radical PLO faction). These three groups are actively fueling the flames of hatred in the West Bank, especially among young men.
Take a look at this Associated Press article from Dec. 12, 2003 and then explain why the peace loving, progressive university students put these thugs in charge of their student body.
