 It is admittedly very difficult to write a completely unbiased paragraph 
about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but the initial article-- [sorry, I'm 
not up to snuff on semantics here with wikipedia]-- reached by an outsider 
doing a casual search could be a statement that the conflict exists between 
whom, where, when...etc. ...and certain factual info re treaties, etc.  then 
a link to the individual sides' position?
