"...In addition, we will teach them how we can have an industry that is independent of the Israeli enemy. We will gradually get all the laborers back [from Israel], after supplying them with job opportunities in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, where they will work in small and very small factories which will be independent of the Israeli enemy..."

As the Aussies say..."Good on Ya Mate!"

They are going to find out pretty soon why free economies do well, and terrorist/socialist/communist/facist ones generally are composed of picking up small rocks and placing them in piles.

If you are lucky.

But when you go to Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, or Egypt, you feel at home.

So go, already.

Considering that Isreal has nukes, maybe we might be seeing the end of the PLO problem.

In this region we have faced Roman occupation, Persian occupation, Crusader occupation, British occupation - they are all gone. The Israeli enemy does not belong to the region. It does not belong to the region's history, geography, or faith. When you enter the land occupied in 1948, it is like entering an enclave. But when you go to Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, or Egypt, you feel at home. It is your homeland."

A different view of Arab-Israeli history:

As soon as a people called the Arabs makes its appearance in history, it has a connection of some kind with Israel.  The very first Arab known to us by name and date, Gindivu (which means locust), is mentioned as a member of an alliance against an Assyrian invader, in which King Ahab of Israel figures at the head of 10,000 foot-soldiers and 2,000 war chariots, while the Arab sheik heads 1,000 camel riders.  This--the battle of Karkar in Syria--which took place in the year 853 B.C. is not mentioned in the Bible and not, of course, in Arabic sources, because Arab history in the proper sense of the term begins only much later with the founding of the Arab religion, Islam, just as Jewish history really begins only with Moses, the founder of the Jewish creed.

S. D. Goitein, Jews and Arabs:  Their Contacts Through the Ages

Interesting.

Why should we recognize the right of Islam to exist

Not too original are they?

Like godless liberals they imitate profoundity.

Since we refuse to recognize them. They turn the tables and ask why they should recognize Condi and Israel - what a bunch of lamebrains. Me thinks they have poop for brains and minions of satan.""

I believe we are witnessing a perfect example of severe inbreeding.

The idiots are truly surfacing. There seems to be no one who will stand up to them internally, so the whole group can go down with them.

No loss in my mind.

Well, Hamas pigs, you sure aren't talking about growing your own food (referring to utterly destroying greenhouses - hugely successful when administered by Israelis - donated to you).

About the only industry that you're half-assed decent at is homicide bombings and, honestly, you have been losing your touch even doing that well!

Sounds like you are ready to hang out with those mythical virgins. Godspeed!

When you look at this conflict over the long period in which it has been fought - 1400 plus years, it seems the only thing those involved have mastered at a higher level than killing each other is reproducing. Where do all these crazy heathens come from?

The Middle East would be far better off if Charlie Manson won this election instead of Hamas.

These aren't people you can reason with. These aren't people you can buy off. These aren't people who will eventually see sweet reason, the light of day and want to live in peace. These are people whom you have to destroy in order to obtain peace.

If anybody wondered why in the Old Testament God told the Israelites (under Joshua 3500 years ago) to completely destroy the pagan peoples inhabiting the Promised Land, look no further for the answer. Some peoples are so twisted and depraved they are simply irredeemable. The Muslim Palestinians today stand in the front ranks of such peoples.

There is always the next election, and in a parliamentary system that can only take a month.

I agree completely...it absolutley is a win. The situation in the ME is now clarified. The argument was that the PA were in fact a "partner for peace". They were, of course, no such thing. Hamas, is a terrorist organization, period. No such argument can be made.

When Hamas attacks Israel, as they surely will (or IJ, or Al Aqsa with Hamas complicity), Israel can take all necessary actions to defend itself.

The situation in the Palestinian is now crystal clear.

Somebody needs to point out to these jihadists that offending Condi Rice will more than likely finish any remote chance they had with the United States. And that Netenyahu will probably be the Israeli prime minister and he may just decide to "terminate" Hamas' existence.

In Gaza, that's known as rearranging the Demons in Hell.

Do they "in-breed" in Palestine.....because, think about it.....if you were a young person....you'd look around and see people who are living in poverty, and have been forever, doing the same things over and over in an effort to "win." If it were me, I'd be saying.....I WANT OUTTA THIS PLACE....and I'd crawl to ANYWHERE, except there.
