I don't know

If they keep building settlements, maybe Sadamm will attack Isreal and we'll have no choice but to end his career of whipping the Middle East into turmoil.

I think your mistake is in assuming that the Middle Eastern Problem is all about Isreal's treatment (or mis-treatment) of Palestinians.

Isreal could do whatever it wanted to the Palestinians and the Arab nations would do nothing.

If the Arab world didn't have Isreal or the US to kick around, they would attack Europe or each other. They could care less about the Palestinians other than it takes their minds off their own failure to bring prosperity to the Middle East.
