The authors accurately poit out Israel's next dilemma regarding the Palestinian "address". The PLO might serve as a Venus Flytrap for Israel!

I recall former President Clinton referring to the Oslo negotiations as madness. That says it all. Who cares whether Hamas, the PLO, Fatah heads the Palestinian people, they are all cut from the same cloth. Their stated objective, whether in whole, or in degrees, is the elimination of Israel, pure and simple. They want the malls, shopping centers, factories, houses, chemical factories, settlements, everything, for their own miserable Arab constituents. Why the introspection and analysis? Why all the questioning, by Israeli pundits and also leaders? It's obvious to all, except Israel. The PA from now on should be approached by their deeds, NOT THEIR WORDS. At least Hamas is truthful, if not barbaric. I recall a movie decades ago, when Spencer Tracy turns to Burt Lancaster. The remark made was to the effect...when you sent the first innocent man to his death. Well, Hamas wants US all murdered, one way or another, piece by piece, peace by peace. The question is, will we allow it?

It is the same as Hitler:they invented a big theory of "superior race"etc,but The truth is that he and all gang were nothing else than BIG ROBBERS,WITH A BIG PLAN!!!

the factories,shopping malls,etc,are never meant for "their own miserable arabs".Don't get deluded!

Have you ever considered the fact that it is you people who are the racists? You really should consider that, since it is the case.

Excellent analysis. One tiny bit of advice: you say "don't deal with the middleman". I say: "do not deal also with the UE! The EU is the greatest disappointment we ever had in Europe since the end of WW2.

so great to hear the voice of reason telling us not to "run over the threshold" and that the world embraces us as we embrace the world. a wise man once asked me: "are u ready to be tampered man. leo and me we gonna tamper you up. and if you pull any of this crazy feces, flash a piece out on the lane. i'm gonna take it away from you, shove it up your bum, and pull the tampering trigger till it goes... click"

Why exactly do people post on these talkbacks? Usually they just make themselves (and their points of view) sound idiotic.

I comment, and I'm proud of it, on interesting articles which I find on this excellent website. They kindly allow readers to post their comments and, I have to say, some of the comments are quite educational. Not all of them of course, like the one you posted.

I was not supposed to post anything else for today,but I liked soooooo much your comment that I needed to post again just to say it !

Thank you very much, Keren. Muito obrigado.

Mr. Capote, Well, that's just like your opinion, man.
