Yes, is it not interesting how hard the Arabs Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza Strip fight for the right of conflict and not the fundament goal of peace.
Remembering that, as far as the conflict is concerned, the Israeli's are opposing a people and culture that never had political, economic or commercial control of any part of the territory in dispute. That the Arabs Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza Strip never had the necessary (for whatever reason) authority of control over any territory; with the possible exception of the Gaza Strip after 2005 and that territory identified as Area "A."

(COMMENT)
In our series of discussions on this topic, the magnitude of state authority for Israel has increased over time, while the ability of the Arabs Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza Strip to exercise any significant level control that could in any sense be considered sovereignty has eroded. Again, it does not matter what the reasons were, the various excuses or objections does NOT change the reality.
During our discussions, → a few, by that it is meant → by those that operate in the plane of reality, have suggested that the introduction of universal human rights represent a fundamental break with the reality. Any attempt to force Israel to change its political and diplomatic stance on the matter of territorial sovereignty
(hard fought for from Arab League aggressors), does nothing more than jeopardize the regional stability and increase the risk to the economic factors that Israel
(as the regional human development leader and a key driver commerce and technology → second only to the UAE economic freedoms) make major contributions to and which the Arabs Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza Strip make little
(near zero) or no contributions to regionally. In fact, the Arabs Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza Strip have implemented activities that attempt to retard the advances by the regional leader making the net present value of Arabs Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza Strip contribution to economic and regional security in the category of negative numbers.
Does it make any sense, on any meaningful level to suggest that this current trend should continue to be subjected to the ever-increasing violence that is the face of the Arabs Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza Strip? If you notice, the only other Middle Eastern Nation to make it into the top 30 Ranking was Qatar.
Some one has to address the elephant in the room. Does is help the Arabs Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza Strip to seriously damage or destroy the Israeli economy? Does it make any sense at all that the Arabs Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza Strip state under its 1967 Forward Edge of the Battle Area (FEBA) between Arab Nations improve the management of those few areas, given that no Middle East Nation Let alone the Arab Palestinians) has shown as much success as Israel in any major yardstick the rest of the world is measured by?
The Arabs Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza Strip are fighting for the wrong things. In fact, if they were smart, and really wanted to improve the quality of life for the people, they would cease hostile activity and negotiate economic partnership arrangement with the Israels.
Most Respectfully,
