Excellent Nadine! This statement clearly shows that you understand the emotional roots of war:

That is true - the Arabs, who seem to be running largely on wounded pride, found losing to those they had been used to despising intolerable. As Bernard Lewis says, losing to the great colonial powers was bad enough. But a gang of contemptible Jews? unbearable!

Unfortunately this statement is very depressing to me:

However, my argument is that you are dealing w/ith "wipe them off the map" hatred, your days of compromise are over. The choices are now fight or run. Attempts to appease such hatred only makes things worse.

since your basically don't think you can solve anything.
