The Middle East

As I watch the drama of the Middle East unfold. I wonder why people can't see what's right in front of them.

Israel:
The current policy of the Israel government is to treat Palestinians as inhuman creatures. There is continued taking of land and suppression on Palestinians, all of this causes rampant poverty. All the killing and suppression brings up visions of Nazi rule in Europe. The taking of land, the patrolling of "borders".

Why do the suppressed become the suppressors? When does it end?

Iran:
Ahmadinejad: Though I disagree with his anti-semitism and the call for the dissolution of Israel, I don't disagree about fair treatment for the Palestinians.
Mousavi: I think that an unquestioned loyalty to Israel would be just as bad as Ahmadinejad's views of anti-semitism. But the forward movement of social rights, especially women's is the right choice.

Why is equality for all impossible to work towards?
