Want to know the root of the Middle East conflict? Dennis Prager explains:
"The Arab and other Muslim enemies of Israel (for the easily confused, this does not mean every Arab or every Muslim) want Israel destroyed. That is why there is a Middle East conflict. Everything else is commentary."
As downbeat as this reality may sound, the truth doesn't get much more direct. The Arab-Muslim world never accepted Israel from the beginning, and largely continues to oppose its existence. That, and only that, is the primary the reason for the conflict. In the current war, hence, Israel has no choice but to overcome its enemies' position.
Unfortunately I only have time now for this brief post, but coming very soon, I'd like to elaborate on it further, particularly on what it means for America and the threat from Iran. I recently met some Americans who returned from a visit to Iran (I was astounded that they went, but they had a good reason, which I'll also touch upon), and they noticed many revealing aspects of the nation almost wholly unreported by the international mainstream media. In the meantime, feel welcome to check our Jerusalem Post ticker at left for continuous real-time updates, and hope you enjoy our site.
That is absolutely true. You have terrorist groups like Hezbollah and Hamas that were created based on the idea of pushing Israel into the sea.

That's very true. And what's more, these groups are actively supported by Iran and Syria. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia spreads its intolerant version of fundamentalist Islam all over the world, which creates more jihadists.
It's clear from past actions that diplomacy and appeasement doesn't deter these enemies (there isn't much to deter when they want to destroy you), and so Israel needs to defeat them so utterly that they'll lose their drive to make war.
