My Undiplomatic Guide to Middle East Diplomacy:

Below is the list of countries that refuse to recognize or establish diplomatic relations with Israel. It reads pretty much like the who's who of retarded countries:

Algeria, Chad, Comoros, Djibouti, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Somalia, Sudan, Tunisia,Bolivia, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Yemen, United Arab Emirates. Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Pakistan. Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia.

Venezuela is because of Chavez, and Bolivia is because they do whatever Chavez tells them. Cuba and North Korea are the most backwards commie states on the planet, and then you have many of the Muslim countries. What can you say about them? Morocco should really not put itself in this pathetic company, but they get pressure. Otherwise, these backwards countries are pretty much an embarrassment to themselves. Now, in the UN this group of futile, backwards dictatorships make up a sizable chunk, each getting the same vote as a place like Canada or the US, which helps explain the UN's backwardness.

UPDATE: Muslim radicals blow up another hotel or something.
