Most other Arabs like the Palestinians about <-> this much more than they like the Jews. I don't know about Abbas, but Arafat stole all the money given to the PA. Hamas I think would at least not steal the money but they'd spend it on killing Israelis. So, nobody wants to give the PA anything.

I do think that they need to have basics like electricity, water, food and fuel though. I think cutting them off from that would be dangerous and cruel.

You're right, though, let someone else pay for it, not us or the Europeans. Let Iran pay.

Why does the Arab Israeli conflict dominate the news?

During the Cold War is was said the it could trigger the next World War. But what about now? Why is it of any interest? Why is there a Quartet?

Because it is said that anti American and Western feeling are aroused by the Arab's love and care for the "treatment" of the "Palestinians".

That is proven to be a lie. They hate Israel. But there care not a wit about the "Palestinians".

That's the Arab and Islamic World.

So why does the Western World and the US Administration continue to make it a front burner issue and always at Israel's expense?
