Is there anyone here who is an "expert" on the Israeli-Palestinian situation?

I'm looking for someone who is willing to chat online for a long time regarding the issue. Previously I have sent emails to pro-Israeli Jewish sites but I realized that I need a longer chatting time than just emails in order to understand the full situation because I've experienced situations where I just froze during debates not knowing how to answer. Fortunately they were online and not face to face debates.

Edit:Title is a little bit wrong. I meant to ask if there is anyone who is an expert on the history of the conflicts in that area. Also, @Grumman Tomcat are you extremely familiar withe the history of the conflict?

I have been to Israel nine times since the 90’s, but am not an expert. You may need to read the Israeli English periodical Haaretz to track current events.

I remember being able to drive a rental car from Jerusalem to Nablus and down to the Israeli coast. The Palestinians in Gaza were able to drive to the West Bank and back. A series of uprisings called Infitadas resulted in suicide bombings in Jewish neighborhoods. The Israelis closed roads, and established checkpoints. One time I saw an Israeli tank at a road block near the entrance to Jericho. Then came high concrete border walls and concertina wire. The Israeli Jews have settlements in the West Bank. Israeli Arabs have neighborhoods and farms in Israel.

I've read quite a few books on the subject and currently follow the region in the news. I also know a few Israelis, Christian Israelis, and even a Palestinian or two. I know a lot of the history, but I'm catching up on more recent developments (recent meaning since the early 2000s Intifada).

It's a very sensitive region that gets very complicated very quickly. PM me anytime.
