So maybe this isn't exactly how it is going, but the Middle East Crisis does follow a similar pattern. It usually does not go as peaceful as this and the smile on the Palestinian's face probably does not come this easy, but in the end it is the Israelis who are losing out on what is rightfully theirs. Asides from the fact that the many Arab nations surrounding Israel already dislike Jews and see them as public enemy number 1, they feel like the land east of the Mediterranean should belong to the Palestinians. Last I checked war is the ultimate decider of who maintains or receives land, and I do not believe Israel has lost any wars since their birth, yet they are threatened constantly to give back the land. And for some reason or other (I mean, it's for peace, but we have seen how that turns out), Israel tends to always give back land that it rightfully won, and then some. Not surprisingly, every time they do give back a piece, the Palestinians want a little more, and then some more, and even more. At a certain point Israel needs to just put its foot down and stop giving in to terrorist threats. I am fine with a peace agreement, but it has to be concrete, not something that Hamas will eventually decide isn't enough and bomb some random shopping mall. Clearly someone needs to back down, and after fighting several wars against several nations, I think Israel has earned the right to stay put.
