as long as this conflict festers, the Palestinians will continue to be used by groups whose sole purpose is to demonize Israel and the Jews, using the excuse of what Israel does to the Palestinians as fodder. This includes entities within the Palestinian camp as well. It will be Israel's best interest in the long run to find a way to resolve this issue. Even if it means difficult answers and keeping a close eye on the extremist camps within Israel. Why give ammunition to the enemy to be used against yourself?
