If only Zionism were wiped out there would no longer be conflict between Muslims and Hindus over Kashmir.
If only Zionism were wiped out there would no longer be conflict between Muslims and Russians over Chechneya.
If only Zionism were wiped out there would no longer be conflict between Arab Muslims and black Muslims in Darfur.
If only Zionism were wiped out there would no longer be conflict between Muslims and the US over Iraq...and Afghanistan...and New York City.

No, it's probably just more profitable, at least in today's global environment, to plea for the world's help in wiping out Zionism than wiping out America.
