There would be no "Palestinian Refugees" were it not for oil that fuels world economies, the fact that so much of it is controlled by and enriches the coffers Arab or Muslim societies AND the fact that for a significant portion of the Islamic world, Jew Hatred is an article of faith.

The money buys public opinion in the west and industrialized world, and the visceral tribal hatred of the Jews insures that there will be no peace. Should the Israelis and Jews emigrate to colonies on Mars some imam somewhere would issue a fatwa claiming Mars for Allah and the charade would begin again.
