So what is the solution?

I frankly have no idea how to deal with the hatred of millions of Muslims whose religion tells them that the return of "allah" depends on exterminating all non-believers from the face of the earth.

However, history (viz., Chamberlain and Joe Kennedy) does teach that trying to pacify haters only breeds more hatred and violence. Faced with that reality and the fear that the Arafats of the world will not stop with victory in the Middle East, I am forced to conclude that we must back Israel at all costs and allow it to beat the so-called Palestinians into submission.
