“Occupied West Bank” this phrase defines the situation... owners of land do not describe themselves as occupying their own land. Either the land is owned outright by Israel or its not, this is not difficult. There is very little discussion about the derivation regarding ownership, we only focus on the current events while context becomes a casualty.

Both Arabs and those supporting Israel have created a conundrum in the Middle East. By not forcing the issue of ownership, the Arabs have sold out Palestinians and the Israelis, by occupying the West Bank, have provided a reason for Palestinians to revolt and for Israelis to protect themselves against revolting Palestinians.

Arab dominated countries use Palestinians as a pawn for their own advantage without doing anything about their plight. Saudi Arabia was just about to sign a treaty agreement with Israel, if Saudi Arabia actually cared about the Palestinians, they would have included something nominal regarding them within the treaty.

Instead we have the Scarecrow conducting jabberwocky while placing blame on no one and everybody at the same time.

This could be resolved if the powers wanted it to be resolved.
