Talking about Arafat, why won’t anyone in the Mideast give “Palestinians” a little land?
Because
a)every other Arab actually hates them (they know that they are violent troublemakers wherever they settle)
b)to divert the people from their backwards state of slavery in their country the Arab rulers need to blame the Israelis. The Palestinians are useful pawns to keep the conflict alive. No Arab state actually wants the solve the conflict other than "throwing out" the Jews.
