Oh yes, they're ready for peace
It bears asking, what is the mindset of the Arab states? Well this is a good indication. The Palestinians aren't terrorists, the Israelis are. Moreover, "[t]he impotence of Muslim countries to do anything to remedy the situation adds to this frustration and anger." So Muslim countries are helpless and vent their anger at their own impotence by being terrorists. Their impotence and frustration however justifies this terror. Continuing, "[t]he world must deal with these misguided people not just by hunting them down but also by removing the causes of their anger and frustration." So the west, meaning the "world," must somehow (they don't suggest how one should deal with the people they govern) but remove the causes of anger. Translation, would the western powers please come here and placate our people by removing Israel entirely. You may read it differently if you can make sense of it. That, however, is a sampling of the countries that support oppression and terrorism and want to destroy Israel. And they want our help because they admit they are helpless fools. Naturally they feel they are capable of leading an all Muslim middle east though.
