Unfortunately Gary's idea won't work. The rest of the Islamic states will
champion the Palestine conflict with money and religious zealots. A
peaceful Palestinian nation is not in the itinerary for the Saudis,
Iranians etc.

The Muslim Dimension - The Muslim dimension of the Palestine conflict was
always implicit. Rather than being antithetical to Arab nationalism,
Islamist and Muslim themes were always to some extent an integral part of
the Arab nationalist doctrine. Islamic lands were divided into those that
were already lost to the West, chiefly Al-Andalus, or Spain, and those that
were properly part of Dar al-Islam, the home of Islam. Palestine was
supposed to be in the latter category. The Israeli capture of Jerusalem
greatly enhanced and underlined the Muslim religious dimension. Beginning
with the Iranian revolution of Khomeini,  Islamism became an increasingly
potent  political force in the Middle East, and therefore the Islamic
dimension of the Palestine conflict assumed increasing importance as it was
taken up by Iranians,  by Salafi radicals in the madrassas (Islamic
schools) being built with Gulf oil money throughout the Muslim world, and
by Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda. Bin Laden does mention Palestine in his
rhetoric, subordinate to railing against the US for occupation of the holy
places of Saudi Arabia. This caused some to further misinterpret the
so-called Saunders doctrine to mean that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,
and US support of Israel, were at the heart of the Islamist struggle
against the United States. However, the chief concern of Islamism, whether
it is represented by the Shi'a Iranian branch or al-Qaeda, is the negation
of Western influence, liberal democracy and the emancipation of women. The
United States, and not Israel, is the Great Satan. The Palestinian issue,
as well as anti-Semitism, are only convenient and popular issues. Islamist
politicians leverage on these issues to advance their program.
