Title:Why Further Complicate An Already Complicated Issue

This is a fantastic mistake. The issue is solely between the Palestinians and Israel. Why would anyone want to complicate the issue by introducing all the Muslim world into this. If that becomes an issue then I think Israel should bring up other issues as well. What about a recognition that Muslim nations have totally cleansed Jews and their rich history from their countries. What about compensation to those Jews and their decendants. How can you adequately compensate descendants who lost any hope of reliving that history. No matter how bad things get for the Palestinians they will never lose that part of their history, and certainly not to the same extent as the Arab Jews. What about rabid anti-semitism within those countries? How are these countries going to combat it? What about promoting Israeli trade? All this things become issues so why complicate things. Settle the Palestinian issue then everything will follow from there.
