Muslim Brotherhood waits in the wings - Globes: "The Egyptian revolution, which took so many in the West and in Israel in particular by surprise, was mainly motivated by the demand of the masses for economic justice. This transcended calls for freedom of expression, the right to organize politically, and relief from the rampant repression of the establishment including Mubarak, his family and cronies, the army and the ruling party.
Above and beyond the Tunisia effect, which certainly influenced the timing of the Egyptian revolution, western commentators have ignored Egypt's long tradition of protest."

Israeli-occupied territories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Israeli-occupied territories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "he Israeli-occupied territories are the territories which have been designated as occupied territory by the United Nations and many other international organizations, governments and others to refer to the territory occupied by Israel from Egypt, Jordan, and Syria after the Six-Day War of 1967.
They consist of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and much of the Golan Heights and, until 1982, the Sinai Peninsula. The West Bank and Gaza Strip are also referred to as the Palestinian territories or Occupied Palestinian Territory.

Israeli–Palestinian conflict - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Israeli–Palestinian conflict - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The violence resulting from the conflict has prompted international actions, as well as other security and human rights concerns, both within and between both sides, and internationally. In addition, the violence has curbed expansion of tourism in the region, which is full of historic and religious sites that many people would like to visit.
Many attempts have been made to broker a two-state solution, involving the creation of an independent Palestinian state alongside an independent Jewish state or next to the State of Israel (after Israel's establishment in 1948). As recently as 2007, a majority of both Israelis and Palestinians, according to a number of polls, prefer the two-state solution over any other solution as a means of resolving the conflict.[4] Moreover, a considerable majority of the Jewish public sees the Palestinians' demand for an independent state as just, and thinks Israel can agree to the establishment of such a state.[5] A majority of Palestinians and Israelis view the West Bank and Gaza Strip as an acceptable location of the hypothetical Palestinian state in a two-state solution.[6] However, there are significant areas of disagreement over the shape of any final agreement and also regarding the level of credibility each side sees in the other in upholding basic commitments.[7]"
