The most important Israeli achievement would be Arab Islamic recognition of our right to a sovereign state
Reader comment on item: Israel Does Not Need Palestinian Recognition?

Official Arab and Palestinian recognition of the legitimate right of the Jewish People to establish a sovereign Jewish nation on so called Arab Islamic land would be the greatest international victory against Islamism.

The Arab Islamic mindset does not allow for any non Moslem to even be considered equal to a Moslem, much less be recognized as having the right to an independent non Moslem state. The entire Arab Palestinian mythical narrative is based on Israel being an illegitimate Western colonial entity forced on the Arab world by the West, robbing and murdering innocent Arab Moslems and polluting sacred Arab Islamic lands.

If and when the Arab intellectual, religious, and political leaders, but especially the Palestinian ones, are finally forced to admit that this is a lie, then not only will the Middle East have a chance to break free of the other lies and myths, like the need for kings and dictators for stable rule, or the cult of suicide and death to fight non Moslem conquerors, etc., but the Islamists will no longer be able count on the support of the Arab Moslem masses to acquiesce to or support their atrocious behavior.
