Yes, because it's the Muslims (throughout almost the entire Middle
East) who have refused to come to terms with the existence of
an independent Jewish state in their midst. Since before it was
born, Israel has sought peace; the Arab response was always "no":
no recognition, no negotiation, no peace. Israel occupies a tiny
sliver of land out of the region, yet even that appears to be
too much for some people.
