Israel is an Apartheid and Terrorist state.

Abbas is a traitor and should be hung.

Hamas won the last election but the PLO was determined to hang onto power and, sacrificing all their values, got into bed with the Israelis and the Yanks.

The West has used Abbas over and over to further the huge divide between the Palestinian people.

And now the writer of this silly article wants Abbas to become a hero!

A traitor cannot become a hero. Get it?

Did you seriously and honestly expect something/anything different?
Rhrosty.

Did I mention the Conspiranuts and LW Progs rule here?

Honestly, the ME is a total basket case. Israel is powerful and paranoid. The rest of the Arab states, if not supporting and encouraging, allow basket cases to hold sway and poke the Lion.

The fanatics don't want peace. They want an end of Israel.

I've seen the jigsaw puzzle that is the two state solution, that'll never work, just on logistical grounds.

There is no Palestine. There are no Palestinians. They are myths. There was, the Mandate of Palestine and the Arabs control the greater part of that... it is called Jordan. If the Arabs want to live somewhere let them live there.

If the so-called Palestinians want their own state they need to rethink the whole thing and how the map gets carved up.

T800, why don't you crawl back under the stone you've been hiding under again?

Like others on OLO, it's obvious you've got nothing positive to offer our conflicted world.

We've got plenty of idiots here already.

Well at least I speak the truth and offer facts DG. Your ad hom and failure to refute show how little you can contribute to the debate.
Anytime you think you can pick up your game and contribute factually and truthfully, be my guest.
Personally I'd like to see a 2 state solution but, israel will have to get together with the people of Gaza and the West Bank and come to a much better compromised than the patchwork quilt solution so far on the table.
