Quite correct Eric. If Israel disappeared tomorrow and the Palis get their state (it would look much like Gaza)all the neighboring Arab states would turn on each other to take their share of the swag. Jordan wants the land west of the Jordan, Syria claims it all as “South Syria”, Egypt wants it as the gateway to the Levant and beyond (a 4000 year tradition in Egyptian foriegn policy, the oldest, continuously pursued foreign policy goal in world history). States further away, like Iraq, Turkey, and Iran would join in lest some rival become too powerful and to enlatge their own power. In the course of the wars the Palis would disappear as a people. And the bloodshed would be horrendous.
