:Well lets face it, it is not on the fringe in the Arab world to believe that Israel should not be a Jewish state, in fact I think it is mainstream. While in Palestine most have pragmatically accepted that at least some of Israel will continue to exist as a Jewish state, in the resat of the Arab world they for the most part believe one of three things 1) That Israel should completey cease to exist 2) that Israel should allow the numerous decendents if Palestinian emigrants to return to Israel proper thereby committing demagraphic suicide or 3) the most progressive in the region think that Israel should be a secular state in control in all of Palestine (although this is mostly mere rhetoric covering a belief in one of the two previous conditions.- [[User:Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg|Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg]] | [[User talk:Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg|Talk]] 12:04, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
I really don't wish to get in another argument where I parrot everything I stated above. Arab states recognize Israel. And it is incorrect to reflect the center of this conflict as whether Israel can exist as a Jewish state. It's existence is fait accompli, and the current conflict is about the various offshoots of that existence, such as borders, refugees, territories, natural resources, economic realities, immigration, emigration, reparations, and so on. The very "existence of a Jewish state" may have been primary concern in 1949 etc, but nowadays it just isn't. [[User:Lokiloki|Lokiloki]] 12:09, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
