IMO, they do what they do because their Arab culture demands revenge above all else. Having been 'humiliated' by losing over and over they must strive to regain their manhood or else they are regarded as less than men.

Of course. It must be because of backwards "Arab culture". It can't be because of hundreds of thousands of people losing their homes and livelihoods and all of them living under repressive foreign rule as stateless non-citizens for at least four decades. All non-Arab "cultures" would cheeerfully submit to such conditions.

It is their Arab culture of Jihad, Jihad, Attack, Attack, Revenge, Revenge that got them in this mess. They've been offered countless chances of a peaceful settlement. The Israelis have eased up on them time after time and they get attacked each time. They've got Gaza now and they were handed an intact greenhouse industry which they looted and destroyed. They are now attacking each other. They could take a different route but they don't and they won't. It's my belief that they could have a decent homeland, peace with Israel and prosperity if they would only ask for it and mean it. The Israelis would even help them prosper if they were allowed to but the Palestinians want what they 'must' have which is victory thru violence. Yes, I have little regard for Arab culture and they have given me reason for my opinion.
