Daniel Pipes? I thought he was dead and gone. he’s certainly not worth his salt and a dreary voice from a deep rut in the trail beside the new Interstate hiway.

From what I’ve read, most of the Arab world would really like the Palestinians to go away - literally and figuratively.

Though many countries maintain diplomatic relations with the Palestinian Authority, funnel them money and rant and rave about Israel’s “occupation” of Palestine, I suspect most have long accepted the fact that Israel isn’t going away any time soon.

Another FReeper who served in Iraq commented that while in Baghdad, the Iraqis he spoke with regarded the Palestinians as the laughing stock of the Arab world. The Jordanians and Lebanese expelled the PLO from their countries, the Egyptians opened fire on Gazans trying to cross the border into Egypt, and even the Saudis killed and deported Palestinians after the Gulf War. Despite the fact that they send weapons through the nose to the PA, they seem to regard the Palis as no more than the useful idiots in the war against Israel, and if they leave and come to other countries they kick them out.
