Yep. Hamas, Hezbollah, and Syria would wipe them out. Would any of the Arab
states even protest such a move? I wonder.

Why is there such moral confusion about the situation? I really don't get
it. The first group wants peace. The second group wants to annihilate the
first group. Both groups have a historical claim on the land. In 1947 the UN
divided the land between them. The first group agreed to the plan and set
about building a modern country with a bustling economy and vibrant society.
The second group would not agree to the plan and instead set about building
a cult of personality around Yasser Arafat, then a cult of victimhood around
"refugee camps" and "occupation" (after two failed military assaults on the
first group by neighboring countries left part of the second group's land in
the hands of the first group), then a cult of death around a jihdist vow to
destroy the first group.

The real tragedy of the Palestinians is that such misery has been inflicted
on them by their own leaders and by the leaders of neighboring states whose
interest lies not in seeing Palestinians do well, but in seeing them suffer.
