Palestine is the Holy Land, though it doesn’t seem like it. For the past century, Palestinians and Israelis (Zionists) cannot seem to like each other or at least try not to kill each other. The hostility between these two “countries” is extremely controversial. The Palestinian revolts have been escalating and there have been two intifadas that have killed thousands of people; it is just a matter of time for the third one.
