Lets just face it guys.
The only solution that will bring any lasting peace to the area involves piles of bodies.
Israel can not give enough to appease the Muslim nations. They are still embarrassed by the 67 war, and their utter humiliation by Israel. When speaking to my Jordanian friend who I mentioned before, he said they refer to the men of that generation as 'the losers' (rough translation) who couldn't do anything right. They want revenge, they have spent 40 years teaching their children to hate the Jews, and only a fear of a repeat of 67 has kept them from all out war.
I view the whole area like an earthquake zone. Every time the next conflict gets postponed it adds to the stress and will make it worse when it does happen, but it will happen in this generation.
The only place I am confused is why Western Europe embraced the Palestinians so firmly, and I think it goes beyond the extremely biased news coverage they seemed to have. I think its due their own antisemitism, but rather than just saying it, they have decided to embrace their enemies instead. There are still men alive today who helped ship Jews to the death camps all through out Europe, and I think that mind set has yet to firmly die. This is also coupled with fear of what the Muslims in their own countries might do. Jews don't tend to hold mass rallies demanding death to their enemies, Muslims do. Yes I am calling the leadership of Western Europe cowardly and antisemetic. Now I think the people of Western Europe are slowly waking up from the cowardly part, I don't know about the antisemetic part.
