D Pipes is leading the intellectual charge on the conflict/war.

Here's my rub in all this. Muslims learn from an early age that endless patience is a virtue and that suffering for the purpose sends them to heaven. If this war must be won in stark terms, meaning recognition and renunciation, Israel may be fighting this war forever. An unattractive notion.
