There was a guy in our dorm (1980's post-barracks bombing) from Lebanon who described it as the following: The arabs fight each other with huge blood feuds dating back centuries. Then Israel arrives, and all (or most) of the feuds stop and they all band together to fight the Israelis. If the Israelis were gone or somehow out of the picture, the arabs would go back to fighting each other to the death. Basically, "we hate each other, but we'll work together to fight our common enemy ... once he's gone we'll go back to fighting each other".

So no, there really won't be peace in the middle east for a very very very very long time.

I've got a great idea .... LET'S START A FUCKING COUNTRY RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ALL!

I've said this very thing numerous times. Israel is actually good for the Arab people as it gives them something to unite over. Your post shows that you have honest and informed knowledge of the situation. It did come from an Arab too and I've heard the very same thing many times. You can also see it from simply looking at history.
