Whenever my baby brother asks me something I can't confidently answer, I get a bit obsessed with finding the right answer for him.  I don't like sound bites and people telling me what the what.  I like to read up on some stuff.  He asked me about the conflict between Israel and Palestine and I only knew what I knew even as what I knew has always felt like an oversimplification of the details.  Being someone with friends whose only criteria is that they are good people...I, of course, have friends who are Jewish as well as friends who are Muslim so I reached out to them for some personal answers.
