As for "the entire middle east has been on fire for the last four decades", if this was truly the reason, than because of exactly the same reason Israel should have wiped out all of the arab nations around, long ago. Its just an excuse for blood-thirsty people to "go wild".

Your post is bordering on open call to murder, it seems out of place here. It looks like bloodthirst is a human vice quite shared everywhere.

Edit: Incidentally PDF - your quotes are screwed up, as it wasn't fate who posted what you quoted.
Technically, the middle east has been on fire since the 8th or 9th century, when the muslim faith splintered over the issue of who should lead after Mohammed's death. The Sunnis and the Shiites have been killing one another since then, which was the main reason the European crusades were "successful" for a period of time - they could play the Sunni dynasties against the Shiite ones and vice versa.
Then, in 1917, Britain's Balfour Declaration proposed a Jewish state in "Palestine", and Britain proceeded to take control of the Middle East, carving it up into unnatural countries of its own design, (possibly in order to
maximize turmoil for its own benefit), and hell on earth continued in "the promised land".

On the subject, saying that the turmoil in the ME dates back from Israel creation is no anti-israeli propaganda, but just plain fact.

True - it isn't anti-israeli propaganda, but it does ignore some 10 centuries of strife in the reason, broken by a few periods of relative peace such as during the reign of the Ottoman empire. But certainly - bloodthirst is a universal human trait, brought to the surface by : hunger, poverty, lack of education, and rulers / people who would rather blame someone else for their problems rather than take the responsibility for solving them themselves. Not just the mideast (which has some notable exceptions such as Qatar, UAE, and Bahrain) but south and central america, africa, and the USA's republican party.
