RE: "But I am not sure if they hate Palestinians any less than Palestinians hate them." I believe there are 22 Arab countries with 320M people. There is 1 Israel with 5 millions "Jews." Palestinians didn't attack Israel in 1948, 1967, and 1973. The PLO charter called for the destruction of the state of Israel and 2 years after they murdered Israeli olympic athletes in Munich (1972), the Arab League made them "the sole legitimate representatives of the Palestinian people." Hate doesn't matter. In war, winning or losing matters, not how you play the game. I espouse "land for peace". If the Palestinans are peaceful, they get to stay on the islands of land they now live on. If not, they are "transferred" off. If the Palestinians are peaceful and the other Arab states start treating Israel as a permanent neighbor, it is in everyone's benefit for the land to be shared. Ideally, Palestinians may return to Israel proper and be citizens of Palestine. Religious Jews may live at the Biblical sites in Judea and Samaria (West Bank) and be citizens of Israel. Jerusalem may be shared by both peoples as the capitol. The non-starter "land for peace", where Arabs with no credibility make promises and expect Israel to give up land, needs to be scrapped. Bush's 5 year plan is a joke. You don't foment hatred for 100 years and kiss and make up in 5.
