That the problem can't be fixed that way because even if you are a great friend of Arafat and Palestine and lavish them with gifts and billions of dollars, you can decide to mandate no headgear for students and suddenly you are festering hate and creatiing terrorists.

One problem is that they hate Jews. Very well then allow them to wipe Israel off the map. Where does the hate go then?

The real problem is the intolerable clash of the successful western world against the repeatedly failing middle east. They could wipe Israel off the map and it would only cause them to find another external reason for their overall failure on the world scale. Co-dependency is not good foreign policy.

The only way to do away with the problem is to do away with the hate, or at least the power behind it, not to do away with Israel or try to massage and work with the hate in some way.
