Forget about Arafat and Palestinians. The problem of The Tribe of Judah are perennial and never ending.

3000 years ago The Tribe was offered a better way by one of their own - Joseph gave them lands in Egypt. Let us not say what the Tribe did to Egyptians to make them enemies, and later to Josephite Israel.

2000 years ago the Tribe was offered a better way by one of their own - love thy enemy. Let us not say what the Tribe did to him. 

The Tribe lost its chance forever, and will thenceforth be surrounded by enemies, and never never live in peace - Romans, Christians, Nazis, Russians, and now Muslims 100 times their number. 

No peace, no love for the Tribe. Serves it right.
