Although it simplifies the conflict, the site below gives a fairly accurate account of the history that gets us to present day disagreement. BTW disagreement is the keyword in the Middle East for centuries.

66, I would say if you had to choose who had the most persuasive influences in the US (read that as money talks), the Jews or the Arabs, the Jews would win hands down every time. The Arabs are making inroads, but they still don't have the old money investments here that the Jews have already established. I certainly don't think for a minute that our decisions of the past few decades to back Israel monitarily and politically are purely altruistic.
Ah.... what have I done, now you will be asking me to prove the $$$$ issues I have brought up. Research is not my forte'. I don't feel that strongly about it. It's all just my opinion. Bottom line for me is we should just "let water seek it's own level" in the Middle East, it's a "tarbaby" that I wouldn't want to stick my fist in if I was Brer Rabbit or an american President!
