Many observers, drawing analogies from other issues without properly examining the specifics of the Arab-Israel case, conclude that it is a normal conflict and, consequently, can be easily settled if only the right formula is found. In fact, though, for much of the Palestinian side the question has remained one of total victory, in which only Israel's extinction and replacement by a Palestinian Arab, and perhaps Islamic, state extending between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea is the acceptable solution.He goes on to say that not all Palestinians think this way, but that enough of them do that peace is not really something that one should expect in the region.
I wonder if the same concept should be applied to the rest of the War on Islamofascism. Quite frankly, you can't negotiate peace with someone who wants to behead you...
