tate solution: what they really want is the destruction of Israel. They've been encouraged in this head-in-the-sand attitude to a great extent by the beneficence of UNRWA, which for 75 years or so has catered to their fantasy that they are and always will be refugees – until the time of Israel's inevitable disappearance – while pouring money into schools which teach them that their goal in life is to kill Jews. Also, the Arabs are never held to account for their violence against Israel. After each defeat they just start back again, building up for the next attack.
Will it be different this time? The Israelis are certainly at the end of their patience, but it's not clear that the Palestinians themselves are any nearer to some kind of accommodation. The great tragedy is that the world at large seems more pro-Palestinian than ever – helped along by distorted reporting from the likes of the BBC.
It's also not helped by the framing of this by western media as solely a territorial political conflict, while determinedly ignoring the clear and dominant Islamic doctrines driving Iran and Hamas.
