There are many causes of the Palestine/Israel conflict. One is the dispute of the city of Jerusalem, which is a holy site to both groups. For Israel, it is where Issac offered his son to God, and for Islam, it is where Muhammad rose to heaven. Another cause of the conflict is the debate over land. Israel is a large country, and it wants to expand it's land into Palestinian territory. Obviously, Palestine doesn't want this, and not only that, but it is also a small country (if you can call it that), and so wants more land form Israel. The last major source of conflict is the US support of Israel. The United States has supported Israel for a while, but since Palestine effectively hates Israel, that hate transfers over to the US as well.
I think that Jerusalem should be divided evenly between the two countries because it would seem unfair to give it to just one religious group.
