The Conflict in a Nutshell (i.e. Israel - Arab conflict)

May 18, 2006 11:57PM PDT

This says it all: Utopians need to learn that for all of the talk of co-existence, the conflict is, even in the eyes of Arab moderates, still a zero-sum game, in which the Arabs lose as long as the Jewish state lives

they're not for co-existence, either. Could it be the "moderates" really aren't?

What does the site have to do with the point being made

It was written by: JWR contributor Jonathan S. Tobin is executive editor of the Philadelphia Jewish Exponent.
So you are saying the website is against co-existence?
I do not understand your point. I think what he said,
''Utopians need to learn that for all of the talk of co-existence, the conflict is, even in the eyes of Arab moderates, still a zero-sum game, in which the Arabs lose as long as the Jewish state lives'' is an observation many realist agree with, regardless of your utopian wishful thinking.
