While I have tremendous sympathy for the Palestinian people, they have been terribly mislead over the years.

Worst is the coming demographic explosion. The Palestinians are one of the fastest growing populations in the world. One reason is that the UN has been feeding them for over 50 years now. Between free food from the UN and improved public sanitation and health services from the Israeli government, there are no checks or restraints on their population growth. Without the UN, how is this population to feed themselves?

The other Arab governments have used the Palestinians for their own ends.

On the other hand, the Israeli governments over the years have not always made the most intelligent decisions. For example, the continued settlements.
