The increasing mistrust between the Arab-Muslim peoples and the western world is rooted in the conflict in Palestine.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The long conflict between Israel and Palestine has, for better or worse, become the world's conflict. It permanently destabilizes the Middle East, blocks the settlement of urgent crises, and intensifies looming threats to the West.
One of the greatest fears of the Arab world is a direct conflict between Israel and the Islamic State.
Fear is the main factor in Arab politics... There is no Arab who is not harmed by Jews' entry into Palestine.
The Arab-Israeli conflict is also in many ways a conflict about status: it's a war between two peoples who feel deeply humiliated by the other, who want the other to respect them. Battles over status can be even more intractable than those over land or water or oil.
The Muslim world is deeply hurt by the campaign of violence initiated against our Palestinian brothers.
In the Middle East, the conflict today is a matter of generations and not of cultures.
The hatred Muslim extremists feel against the West feeds on certain conflicts in the world.
Everything that could produce a clash between the Arab world and the West seemed dangerous to me.
Dissensions between Muslim nations run at least as deep, if not deeper, than those nations' resentment of the West.
The issue of Palestine has been there since more than 60 years. But more important since 1967 when the war was, ended in the defeat of some Arab countries.
