Isn't it amazing how the Arabs just go along with Abbas's refusal to hold new elections? What's wrong with them? It seems to be okay with them that Abbas had made himself King-for-Life, something that other Arab dictators seem to enjoy at the expense of their people.

Look how easy it is to become an Arab dictator, just say all your peoples' problems, all of them, are due to Israel! And the Arabs buy it, hook, line, and sinker!! Works for Nasrallah, works for Assad, works for Iran's goat-humpers, and even works for the Jordanian King, even though Israel is the only reason he's still got a throne!

I'm amazed that Arabs even have the initiative to get out of bed in the morning! They seem to have none for every other aspect of their lives, (except for trying to kill Israelis. that is.)

Are we talking about a Palestinian state and a Jewish (majority) state or are we talking about a Palestinian state and a Jewish state with a Palestinian right of return making that a second Palestinian state? It makes all the difference in the world but the Western press never challenges the Palestinians to state clearly what they mean. Neither do Liberal Jews challenge them. Is there not 1 journalist or politician not too cowardly to openly challenge the Palestinians?

.Better based on self indulgent SENTIMENTALITY.....or HARD FACTS

Because the FACT is that a Palestinian State in either the West Bank alone or a Gaza plus West Bank state of Palestine connected by a motorway across Israel is highly unstable

And the FACT is that a UNIFIED SOVEREIGN CONTIGUOUS Palestinian State in an expanded Gaza created from land transfers, purchases and swaps around the size of Lebanon (Palestinian 1999 PEG Plan) BY EVERY MEASURE is by far the BEST WAY FORWARD to not just a viable and stable but a stunningly successful prosperous and thriving state

Where NEW pristine and modern West Bank Cities and Town of NEW Ramallah, NEW Khan Yunis, NEW Qalqilya, NEW Tulkarm would be REBUILT in PEG free of the Old Town legacies of 'occupation'

Do we want to wallow in sentimentality or TRIUMPH IN SUCCESS?
