have a look at what 'independence' for the West bank really means. http://www.guardian.co.uk/flash/page/0,,2088220,00.html

No comment?? Olmert the coward withdraws again before the job is finished, palis respond in their usual manner, and the silence is deafening

KASSAM'S AIMED AT ISRAELI CIVILIAN TARGETS ,ARE CONTRARY TO" INTENATIONAL LAW."...WHO WILL FOOT THE BILL FOR DAMAGES SUCH AS THESE?,THE RIGHTFULLY ELECTED PRESIDENT ABBAS AND HIS FATAH PARTY?FOR THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL LAW AND ORDER IN THE GAZA STRIP,AND THE WEST BANK .THE FACT THAT HAMAS THUGS HAVE USURPED PART OF HIS "kINGDOM" AND PROCLAIMED THEIR AREA AS BEING SOVEREIGN TERRITORY DOES NOT GIVE IT LEGAL RECOGNITION INTERNATIONALLY. IT DOES NOT, MAKE SENSE THERFORE FOR LITTIGANTS TO SEEK REDRESS FROM THAT QUARTER. ORGANISATION .BUT ALL AGREE THAT ABBAS AND FATAH ARE THE LEGAL GOVERNMENT....SO ANY REDRESS SOUGHT ON BEHALF OF ISRAELI CITIZENS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO THE PALESTINE LIBERATION AUTHORITY ALL BILLS FOR DAMAGE,LOSS OF LIFE LOSS OF INCOME ETC.SHOULD THEREFORE BE PREPARED WITHOUT FURTHER TIME DELAY. AS ABBAS AND CO CLAIM AUTHORITY,AND NOBODY DISAGREES THEY .WILL HAVE TO FIND THE MONEY TO FOOT THE BILLS WHEN THEY COME.. THERE IS THEREFORE NO REASON ,FOR THE LEGAL PROCESSES TO BE FURTHER DELAYED AND SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE,FOR THE COURTS WILL BE CHOKED WITH CLAIMS GOING WELL INTO THE FUTURE.!...
