Israel-Palestine

As 2008 was winding down, Israel invaded the West Bank, killing more than 1300 Palestinians and injuring thousands more.

What is the West Bank? What is the history of modern Israel? Who are the Palestinians?



Why are people fighting over this land?

And why is this area -- around the ancient city of Jerusalem -- so important to the world?

We'll aim to answer these questions (and pose more questions) here on this wiki space.
