Biggest threat, primary cause...

I've had a few minutes to mull over the statement by el Baradei, that Israel is the biggest threat to peace in the Mideast. Seems to me, that's comparable to somebody saying that the primary cause of divorce is marriage, or the sole cause of death in the world is birth. All may be accurate, in the end result -- and, Israel's mere existence as a home for the Jews may cause no end of strife among spite-filled Arabs -- but by such a declaration, it becomes apparent somebody has his spectacles on upside-down, to put things politely.
