Palestine was a small territory in the Middle East, on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Shortly after World War 2, while under British administration, it was eliminated in favor of creating a "safe" homeland for the Jews of the world - Israel - in just about the most dangerous place (since Hitler's Germany) for Jews on the planet. The territory was divided between Israel, Jordan, Syria and Egypt. The 1948 Arab Israeli War ensured the two state solution was never implemented and the place has been fighting every since.
While the Israel experiment has been largely successful as a refuge and nation for Jews, there still remain some "issues" regarding the mostly Muslim Arabs who used to live there.
It is the considered opinion of some people that if President Clinton had been allowed to serve a third term, he would somehow have worked a miraculous solution to this Palestine/Israel conflict.
Now however Tony Blair -- the architect of the Northern Ireland peace process -- has volunteered to fix things up. He is obviously the ideal man for the job as he has a long history of impartiality concerning the Arab-Israeli conflict -- backing the Israeli invasion in Lebanon that the rest of Britain and Europe considered unjustifiable, participation in two semi-legal wars against Muslim countries and being in thrall to that great Islamophile, Sheikh George W. Bush. Sorting out Palestine should take him about six to nine months.
