That is an EXCELLENT question for PSYCHIATRISTS who are trying to
understand the fiercely proud behaviour associated with the ARAB MIND.
It is well-documented that Jews tried very hard to get the Arabs
to accept the Partition and to stay in Palestine.  The Partition
would never have even come about had the Arabs not behaved in such
a hostile way as to require a separation of Palestinian Jews from
Palestinian Arabs.  I would suggest that you read The Haj, a recently
best-selling novel which very well dramatizes this issue.

SAYS WHO?  This is a very prejudiced interpretation of the Camp David
Accords.  And while we're on the subject, did any of the pro-Arab
readers out there ever stop to realize that Israel gave Egypt back
the ENTIRE SINAI PENINSULA just to have an EGYPTIAN AMBASSADOR
park his behind in Israel?  BIG DEAL!
