Fighting little old Israel at the expense of your people

Noah at Noahtorious B.I.G. linked to a Newsmax article that made me think. It has always seemed strange to me that the Arabs would waste so much of their energies and monies on fighting Israel. Israel is a minor threat to a small population of Muslims. While their people descend into barbarity, madness and fascism the Arabs continue concentrate on Israel. They spend milions of dollars on weaponry and then cry about the poverty of the Palestinians. Maybe that was the evil Jewish cabal's intention all along. To make the Muslims waste billions of dollars that would be better directed towards inproving the lives of their people.
