First off, I found this quote in TIME magazine that I feel sums up the situation in Israel-Palestine in a way. Its not simple and doesnt explain everything, but overall, I think the quote works; "But both groups are so bound up in their own sense of victimization-the Israelis over the Holocaust, the Palestinians over the loss of their land-that they are blind to the legitimate needs of the other". The author brings up quite a good point, albeit, not simple one, but a good one nonetheless. I just wanted to share that.
As for Prof. Mueller (or Dr, I cant remember), I thought he was very well versed in the Middle East for his saying he wasnt an expert on the subject. Though I noticed some other students incredulous at his remarks (one in particular, but I wont name who lol), I thought he brought the subject around nicely.
