Reasons Why Peaceful Resolutions for the Arab-Israeli Conflict Always Fail gatestoneinstitute.org/14634/arab-isr…
The cause of the problem is NOT the land. After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, several Arab nations were created by fiat.
The Arab world accepted this without any problem, as these were Muslim-majority countries. Rejecting the state of Israel was related to the fact that it is a Jewish rather than a Muslim country.
In this manner, despite the clear discrimination against non-Muslim minorities in most of the Arab and Muslim world (denying equal rights in church construction, for example), many in the Arab world point the finger only at Israel when they talk about discrimination.
When we add onto all that the sad reality that Palestinian politicians are using the conflict to get billions of dollars in donations, we can understand why this conflict has so far not been solved.
