Mired isn't the right word. That implies that there might be some way to get out of it or at least for the mire to dry. The Palestinian Authority's rock solid foundation is hatred of Israel and all things Jewish.
Hatred of Jews is preached in the Koran and it is hardwired into Muslims. For fourteen centuries now.
When I was young & naive I actually believed that Arab hatred of Jews only began with the founding of Israel in 1948.
Anyway, why should Omar & Achmed be content with running a falafel stand when they can strap on bomb belts & blow themselves clear to paradise?
