The Palis should reflect on this. They should realize that if they cannot bring themselves to live at peace with Jewish neighbors, then one day they are liable to have to go find neighbors with whom they are willing live at peace. Since their “Arab Brothers” hate, despise, and fear them, and have massacred them in wholesale lots, that may be a difficult thing to do.

Ironically, it is the existence of Israel that keeps the Palestinian population alive. If they should ever (God forbid) get their way and take over Israel, the other Arab nations would immediately sweep in, massacre everybody, and take over the land themselves.

One has only to look at Palestinian concentration camps in Syria (which the world still turns a blind eye to) to know what the rest of the Arab world thinks of them.

By the way, for much more and incomparably better analysis of this sort of thing, I strongly recommend Dr. Sanity: http://drsanity.blogspot.com/

I suspect that, if Israel did not exist, a huge intra-Arab war would break out over the Levant. Egypt would want to expand up the coast. Indeed it’s an old policy of Egypt’s, including Muslim rulers like the Fatimids. As a policy it goes back about four thousand years or more. Muhammed Ali Pasha invaded the Levant in the 1830s. Only the support of the British Navy for the Turks stopped him. Jordan would probably ally with Egypt, because th other chief claiment is Syria, which views the whole area as “Greater Syria”. Syria would move to take over the place. Iraq doesn’t like Syria and would balk at increased Syrian power, but then Syria is Iran’s lapdog and so Iran could be drawn in. Would Turkey sit by while potential enemies take over the place? They may not want to restore the Ottoman Empire, but the Turks are liable to dread expansion by Syria and Iran, and maybe Egypt.

Now since the chief strategy of Arab armies over the past several decades seems to be the competitive slaughter of civilians there would not be much left of the Arab population of Eretz Israel after a few go rounds of this war. Ironically the existence of Israel probably is saving the lives of a couple of million or more Muslim Arabs from death, and many others from being forced to flee due to violence by their “Muslim Brothers”.
