The conflict between Israel and the Arab world is not about the borders of the Jewish State. Simply put, the core of the conflict is about Israel's existence itself! If you look throughout the Middle East, Israel is the ONLY non-Moslem nation. Lebanon functioned somewhat as a bi-national Christian/Moslem nation until Yasser Arafat and the Palestinian thugs of his Palestine Liberation Organization [PLO] went there. After a 15 year civil war (1970-85) instigated by these Palestinians and abetted by their Syrian backers, Lebanon has essentially become another Moslem nation. If it were not for Israel's alliance with and military support given to the Christian militia in parts of southern Lebanon, Lebanon would now be part of Syria. And if one wonders what would happen to the Jews if ever a bi-national state were created among Jews and Moslems within Israel, look to Lebanon.

Throughout most of the Arab Moslem world, hatred toward the Jews is preached in mosques where the "Zionist entity" is portrayed as a diabolical threat. This characterization of the Jews is taught in refugee camps where they are known as the "usurpers and barbarians" who have expelled the poor Palestinian Arabs from their homes. It is taught in all Arab schools, spoken over the air waves and written in books and newspaper editorials. The latest "fashionable" spread of Arab propaganda and lies is via the Internet. A whole new non-Moslem audience is now being brainwashed with patently untrue tales of Arab suffering at the hands of the Jews.

Arab Palestinian Refugees 1948

It is important to note that the world has seen hundreds of millions of refugees. It's a natural and expected end result of wars. All have resettled, begun new lives and made the best of their situation. Tens of millions of refugees were created in the aftermath of both World Wars.  During the 1948-49 Arab-Israeli War, 860,000 Jews living in Arab countries were thrown out on their ears! We don't hear about them anymore because they were absorbed by their fellow Jews within Israel. So while the Arabs throughout the Middle East cry crocodile tears for their poor suffering Palestinian brothers and sisters, none of these countries has opened their arms to them. The ones that were allowed in were placed into more refugee camps for the world to see.  Ironically, the Arabs who remained in Israel and became citizens have fared far better than those in Arab countries! What makes the Palestinian Arabs stand out among the world's refugees is that they created their own pathetic situation or were misled by their leaders. That is their tough luck! What was offered to them in 1947 cannot be offered once again. The world has far more important things to concern itself with other than their constant belly-aching! As they say, "Get a Life, Already!"

"But I don't wanna Get a Life!"
