And then we'll elect whom we want. I'm sure when Israelis see who Palestinians elect when they really have a choice that the claim that "the vast majority" of Palestinians want peace with Israel will be disproved. Watch what happens when Hamas becomes the largest party. Then watch Beilin Peretz try to sell their snake oil.

WHAT ABBAS HAS TO DO TO GET ELECTED IS PROMISE THE PALESTINIANS THE MOON. HE SHOULD PROMISE THEM ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. AND THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THEIR DREAMS COME TRUE. IT'S A GOOD ELECTORAL STRATEGY.

From the look of things, the upcoming Israeli elections are such a mess ....with so many politicians trying to convince voters that THEY are the right ones....so think about how it must be on the Palestinian side....Why would it be simpler ? There like at home, everybody is looking for power, perks and money. Palestinian politicians being certainly no better than our own, it is therefore nromal that they encounter the same difficulties in deciding how the cake should be split......Both their politicians and ours are facing the same issues and the same challenges : find a way to stay in power as long as possible and milk the people as much as possible m us with uncle sam's helping hand, them with money pouring from a biaised EEC.
