(AP) Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told an American Jewish audience Tuesday that young Palestinians are losing hope for an agreement with Israel.
"Increasingly, the Palestinians who talk about a two-state solution are my age," Rice, 53, said in a somber speech to The American Jewish Committee at its 102nd annual meeting.
Insisting that the Bush administration will never yield to dealing with Hamas militants, Rice said, "What you don't want is that the hopelessness and the vision of the extremists have no counter."

Dr. Rice is talking like a basketball coach watching the clock tick away with her team down in the championship game and realizing that with every day of 2008 sliding by, the chance of making a comeback is increasingly unlikely. Then again, maybe these statements are yet another example of the Bush Administration's arabian "end run", not meaning for any true, permanent, resolution to the conflict between the arabians and Israel, just attempting to finish the game in good form.

Has Egypt given up it's claim to the Gaza Strip? Or Syria to the Golan Heights? There's no counter to the ‘views of extremists’ because those views are treated as being valid. They should be mocked for what they are. Those who live in the territories that Israel took under the flag of defending themselves from aggression should a) end the fantasies that they're going to move into Israel, b) look to build their own nation, if that's their goal, and stop being envious of everyone else. But that takes work - it's so much easier to hate those who do something good for themselves.

Young “Palestinians” have all been raised by an education system and entertainment that render it impossible for them to come to accept the survival of Jews in the world much less Israel. It won’t happen. It can’t happen. Here is an illustration of the possibilities in a government-run educational system.

young Palestinians are losing hope for an agreement with Israel. That's because they never had a "hope" of making peace with Israel--they want to destroy Israel.

Mr. Bush and Ms. Rice need to stay the he$$ out of Israel’s business and let them sort out things for themselves. God is not pleased.

Any kind of "peace" agreement would have to include somehow an end to the indoctrination into a culture of hate that dominates the Pali "education" system.

That kind of peace agreement would have to utterly change the education and the television and would take 40 years
or wholesale slaughter to implement. Essentially there is no possibility of peace. The solution would have been for the Israelis in 1967 to have pushed the "Palestinians" into Jordan and the Sinai and walled them off there. Israel would have defensible borders and Jordan and Egypt would have solved
their "Palestinian Problems" as Jordan did its own later.
The "Palestinians" are irreversibly programmed with the absolute necessity to kill all the Jews and convert the land back into desert.
