<< ... it's that the Zionists' success there points out all the failings of Arabs >> If the Palestinian Menace becomes a state, it will prove two things. 1. Arabs, once again, won't be capable of building a government based on freedom and democracy. This will just become another dangerous Arab dictatorship. 2. Al Qaeda, and other terrorist groups, will be able to continue building their bases in the West Bank and Gaza. A Palestinian state not only threatens the only true democracy in the Middle East, Israel, but it would also threaten the stability of Jordon.

I agree, Iraq, Egypt, and Jordan are semi-illegal, except for the fact that the Arabs were willing to overlook portions of the British's actions, probably because it was a situation amongst Arab people and did not involve the importation of foreigners. Israel's success is indeed a point indicating that the Arab nations have not put their houses in order, BUT to acknowledge this, it is important to state that they are mostly a Third-world mindset, coming out of colonialism themselves, unfamiliar with Western finance and technology and the Israelis are very much Western, with full support of financial, technology, and military resources, which defines a colony. Then there is the guilt-trip of persecutions on the Christian world for that support. Face it, Nadine, the Israelis are hypocrites.
