Very well reasoned and elucidates the current state of affairs with the PA and their loony supporters in the US. Worth the read.

Awesome thinking. Positive and informative poll.

The upshot is that when Howard Dean and his domestic look-alikes join with the roadmap's U.N. and EU sponsors, pressing George W. Bush to quit trying to create a peaceful Iraqi state and to redouble his efforts to create a peaceful Palestinian state in-stead, he can tell them, in all honesty, that America cannot create peaceful states. We can only offer people the chance to do that for themselves. We made that offer to the Iraqi people and to the Palestinian people. The Iraqi people accepted our offer, and we won't desert them now. The Palestinian people rejected it, over and over again, for ten long, bloody years, and now, it's time to take that offer off the table.

Bingo!

If 60% of the Palestinians want more suicide bombings and 88.8% defend the terrorist cells that commit them, then these folks are almost to a person guilty of a capital crime. Aiding, abetting, facilitating or continuing to allow this activity to take place within your locality with your approval is a crime. You are an accessory to brutal indiscriminate murder.

The West Bank and Gaza are immoral hell holes filled to the brim with folks who support blowing men, women and children to bits. My patience with this over.

God destroyed Sodom and Gamorah because there was utterly no righteous people left. I'm not sure man has any obligation to treat these people any differently.

I don't like it. I did't want to come to this conclusion, but what choice does Israel have other than to brutally and finitely develop plans to destroy every Palestinian who cannot find it in their heart to live in peace with them?

Brutal God defying murder and brutality is the law the Palestinians have chosen to live by. I'm of a mind that it is time for them to pay the piper in accordance with those same rules. If I were Israel I would either brutalize them to the last goat, cat or dog if that's what it took to get peace in the region, or I'd expell them. Expelling them will only put off the inevitable, so there is only one option left.

Palestinians, as much as I desire peace for you and success in your lives, you have begged to be treated in ways that will never give that to you. So be it. I give up. You're just too damned smart for the rest of civilization. Now f--- you!

Israel, you have waited long enough. George, Colin, get thee behind them or get thee behind me. You are either with this or you're on the other team.

Money lines, in bold:

Freund and a minority of others in Israel and America understood these facts all along, because Palestinian leaders made it plain all along, in Arabic: There are no Palestinian leaders who want peace. There never were. Oslo was a sucker's game from the start, a tactic in what Israeli scholar Joel Fishman calls a Viet Cong style "People's War," and the Palestinian Authority is what it has always been: A terrorist organization at war with Israel and the West, willing to settle for nothing less than total victory, starting with Israel's total destruction. Thus, it's not just Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, and al Qaeda that must be destroyed for Israel to survive and for America to win the broader war on terror: It's the PA itself, and with it, the ultimate Israeli & American Left-lemmings fantasy, the idea that a Palestinian state would ever be anything other than a terror state.

Great posting, Veronica. :)

You strangely forgot to include the pandering of the U.S. State Department personalities who give aid and comfort to the PLO and pokes The Jewish Nation in the eye. One dimentional I guess!

They now talk about expelling Arafat but leaving the Palestinian Authority in place, as though installing a new Godfather will make the Mafia less of a criminal organization.
