Well now you're hitting on something else. Before there was a Jewish-Palestinian conflict, there was a Jewish-Arab conflict, and really it never went away. The other side of this is that Egypt and the others didn't take in the Palistinians as is customary with population transfers, in accordance with international law. They left them at the borders to stew, and used them as pawns. It's also interesting that there was no Palistinian solidarity movement until the Popular Liberation Front (Egyptians like Arafat) became the Palestinian Liberation Organization and coopted whatever claims actual Palesinian Arabs had to the land. Peace with the Palestinians means little without the support of the Arab League that refused a two state partition in the first place. Educated supporters of Israel see this as Israel against the Arab world as a whole, and view Israel as the minority.
