Not a single statement is, as far as I know, untrue. That being said, the establishment of a state based on western cultural and political norms, inhabited and run by people whose culture (after 1,900 years of diaspora) is largely European, and supported militarily by the west (US) like it's Fort Apache smack in the middle of the Arab part of the old Ottoman Empire was an earth shaking event for the people there.

After occupying a piece of land for around 1,300 years (over 60 generations) people do consider themselves to be the owners, no matter who actually rules the place (Turks, Egyptians, Brits, Jordanians, etc.).

It is a Gordian Knot of a problem which, by default, will probably always be settled by superior force of arms.

With reference to SOLOMON: At the southern end of the Gulf of Aqabba, the place where Moses led the Israelites across the Red Sea, there were two pillars dedicated to Solomon, placed there by the king of his Phonecian ally, commemorating the Red Sea crossing. Ron Wyatt found these; one on the Egyptian side and one on the Saudi Arabian side back in the 80's. Pictures and videos were taken, but the respective countries have since removed these artifacts. They are now in museums At this very spot is an underwater land bridge, and a large debris field of Egyptian chariots some with and some without wheels, some common and some gilded. This is the true crossing point of the Exodus, and Mt. Horeb (Sinai} is truly in Arabia. The evidence is there and now is hevily guarded by the Saudi govt.
