The Real Motivation

Dennis Prager goes to the core issue of Israel and its enemies:

The Middle East conflict is difficult to solve, but it is among the simplest conflicts in history to understand.

The Arab and other Muslim enemies of Israel (for the easily confused, this does not mean every Arab or every Muslim) want Israel destroyed. That is why there is a Middle East conflict. Everything else is commentary.

My take: To get a sense of the real motivations, ask yourself what would happen if the military capacities of the two sides were reversed. Israel would not simply be pushed off of various pieces of land. It would be destroyed.
