No. It's not a case of 'which came first the chicken or the egg'.

Seeing the horrific Arab Muslim attacking Jews, even in the US, ar times with allahu akbar, under banner id do called "free palestine" reminds us to refresh our memory. Hatred came before grievances...

Here are highlights of Arab attacks on Jews before 1948.

* Arab attack on Jews 1886 Petach Tikwa.

* In 1914 'Filastin' was banned by the Turks for inciting racial hatred.

* 1920, al-Husseini instigated killing Jews. Firing up with jihadi calls to kill.

* In 1929, Mufti al-Husseini instigated an all out massacre. Targeted victims were non -zionist pious Jews.

* In the 1930s, the mufti and his allies massacred and or intimidated moderate Arabs.
['Jews Urge Arabs To Shun Bigotry... Grand Mufti Adamant.' The New York Times, July 18, 1930].

* In 1935-6, he and Jamal al-Husseini founded fascist, Hitler-youth type movement.

* In 1941, the Mufti pushed for the Arab-Nazi Farhud pogrom in Iraq. A key event in the explusion of Jews from Arab countries 1940s-1950s.

* In the same year, the Mufti met with Hitler and agreed on corporation. His henchman, Ahmed Shukeiri helped the Nazis too.

* In 1946 Shukeiri justified the Holocaust and in 1947 he promised, every word of UN resolution will be erases by the blood of the Jews and next day, after the Partition Plan was accepted by the Zionists and rejected by the Arabs, attacks on Jews stepped up.

Point is, as long as incitement goes on, in schools, in mosques, by their leadership [www.palwatch.org, www.memri.org]. (Core is twin bigotry: Ethnic Arab racism and religious Islamic intolerance), and some helping them out in the West, no "solution" is ever even a possibility.
