The truth is that the Arab-Israeli conflict is a distraction that serves to keep the bulk of the muslim masses from focusing on the inadequacy of their life in the modern world and the failure of themselves and their leadership. All of this is masked by their delusion that they have an economy because of our foolish failure to correct our wrongheaded course of growing dependence upon their oil. This, in turn, is the failure of our leadership. There is no necessity for the dependence and it could have been avoided, but not by the impractical notions of the renewable energy fringe groups. The truth is that the envirnomentalists, so-called, and the well paid "yes your bigness" crowd have been in a sort of dance to avoid solutions in a parallel manner to the use of the Arab-Israeli situation by our "leaders" and those of the Muslim world.

Sadly, in a half-decade, the Palis can't see through this. The Muslims are not fighting for Palestine, they're using their people as a vehicle to kill Jews. Palis are very ignorant to this.

The UN agency, UNRWA, largely supported financially by the US has also made the problem worse. There were 400,000 or so refugees in 1948 but UNRWA defines the number as 1948 refugees PLUS THEIR OFFSPRING, so the current number is 4 million. No way is Israel going to accept 4 million returing "refugees"---nor should they.
