GAZA (Reuters) - Palestinian militants ambushed an Israeli army jeep in Gaza on Wednesday, killing a Jewish settler, wounding three soldiers and challenging new Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas's opposition to attacks on Israeli targets.
Islamic Jihad said the raid, the first since Abbas won a landslide election on Sunday, was a riposte to his calls for an end to four years of armed struggle in favor of non-violent means to achieve a state in Israeli-occupied territories.

Isn't Gaza the area where Sharon is having the first of the settlers leave? Yeah, this will go a long way to reinforcing Pali committment to peace. (Do I need a sarcasm tag?)

Yep. The only difference between Abbas and Arafact is that Abbas shaves and wears expensive Italian suits. Otherwise, its the same ole same ole.
True peace will only happen when they love their children more than they hate Israel. Sadly, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

It will never happen as long as generations of children are taught from birth to hate Jews. And, also sadly, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

I think the world has gone around the bend so far that the answer to that question must unfortunately be yes!
