The Arabs could have peace tomorrow if sufficient numbers of Palestinians were not content to be used as cannon fodder in fruitless assaults on Israel, even as the surrounding Arab powers distract the Arab masses with the red herring of Israel while retarding their countries with their repression and corruption.

Summary

It highlights how Arab powers divert public attention towards Israel, distracting them from the internal problems of repression and corruption within their own nations. The quote implies that if Palestinians were not willing to be used as pawns and if Arab leaders addressed the real issues afflicting their societies, lasting peace could be achieved between Arabs and Israelis.
