From the Paper:

"Amid the endless reams of paper and the innumerable hours of television coverage which have been devoted to the crisis in the Middle East, there exists no objective or universally agreed explanation of the causes, yet the effects and suffering are only too visible to all. With both sides, within the conflict, pursuing their own specific personal and political agendas, it would be futile to attempt to sift through the highly sophisticated, and often convincing, propaganda that is released to the West on a daily basis. This paper, therefore, will resist the urge to indulge in subjective analysis and evaluation of the situation, and will concentrate on providing a brief overview of the geographical and historical factors which have contributed to the continuing conflict between the Palestinians and the Israelis, including the important role played by cultural and religious differences."
