Really, I dont understand why they fight over desert. I know it's all religiously significant land because it's where all these religions sprang up a thousand or 2 thousand or 3 thousand years ago. But honestly, its desert.....it's not exactly a great place to live. If I were them I'd pack my bags and walk to some other place with a more hospitable climate.   And don't give me that, they dont have any money to get transportation crap. It's called legs, use em, walk!! If our ancestors thousands of years ago could do it to walk across Africa, Europe, and Asia to get to areas with better climate, we can too.    It's all bull!@#$%^&*, just nothing but a childish squabble over crappy land. And it's on all sides, Isreal, Syria, US, Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey.... And most of the oil in the middle east isn't even in these areas. It's all mainly in Iran and along the Persian Gulf Coast....So also don't give me they dont want to leave because of the oil money....   Thats just my 2 cents....
