The ongoing problem in the middle-east is centred around a conflict that was started based on ideals and not fairness. Do you believe that Palestine should be given their land back? Who is mostly to blame for this current problem? Where are the viable solutions going to come from?

Who is mostly to blame? Everyone.
The fairest solution would be to finally and completely implement the Camp David accords and abide by the borders given there.
Palestine has got to get over itself in some respects. There are Palestinian leaders who to this day aspire to running all the Israelis into the Mediterranean until they drown. (That was a popular PLO sentiment expressed by Arafat that seems to have resurfaced.) Palestinians have to recognize Israels right to exist, if for no other reason but they are a prime military force in the area.
Israel has got to get over itself as well. It cannot provide retribution on a civilian populace when attacked. It also needs to abide by the terms of the Camp David Accords and let go of those lands! Folks, this treaty is from the Carter Administration era, and has NEVER been fully lived up to.

ahh i see. Do you believe that we're running into the same problems. The camp david accords were great at the time. But now with the War On Terror in full swing dont you think a new method has to be put in place for there to be a lasting solution to the problem?
