has anyone taken the time to check out this abbas guy? I have this jerusalem post book,It says he was worse that arafat!
Not arguing that point, but he's the one Israel is going to have to deal with. If he goes to the Temple Mount and agitates, the blood of a lot of people will be on his hands. If he publically advocates or secretly supports violence against Israel, he'll end up as irrelevant as Arafat.
However, Israel is offering him a chance with a blank slate and a fresh start. If he takes the opportunity and tries to negogiate a peacefull settlement, who knows how much good can come from it?
I don't know if it's possible, but I certainly pray for peace.
