For What it’s Worth,
and
In my Humble opinion.
These observations are based primarily on what happened and just slightly less on what was said.
I believe that as WWII was winding down there were very serious and high level discussions between the US and Britain regarding what to do with the Islamist in the Middle East and North Africa.
The conclusions I believe they reached were that these Islamist are literally insane and have no place in the Western World.
I believe they embarked on a plan that would support Islamic dictators if those dictators would keep their populace under control and keep them isolated from the rest of the World.
It worked for many years but now the genie is out of the bottle.
Islamist are insane because the premise of their faith (their hearts desire--their raison d'etre--is based on a falacy...and the genie (the jinn) is out of the bottle.
After relative calm since the 1973 Yom Kippup War, Arafat re-ignighted with his Intifadas and it grew from there because the West was too PC. Israel stopped the murderous so-called Palis from blowing up their cafes, weddings, market-places, buses, et al on a weekly basis with a wall.
After Israel moved out of Gaza and the Palis destroy anything Jewish and continued to attack, I believe they should have just wiped them out - world opinion and collateral damage be damned. We did it with Germany and Japan, and I'm glad we did.
