The Palestinians should either live under Israeli rule or move elsewhere. They lived under British and Turkish rule and never behaved like this. And the Israelis treat the Palestinians better than most Arab governments treat their own people. And as for the content of the article you linked, it was a divide-and-conquer strategy that backfired. It doesn't make the Hamas worthy of support.

I've defended Buchanan before on national sovereignty issues (you've read my postings) and I even voted for him in 1992. But this time he's gone too far.

If they live under Israeli rule would they have voting rights? How do you imagine possible arrangement?

Maybe not worthy, but in politics you must do what you have to do. The separation in my opinion is the best solution for Israel, because of demographics. If Palestinians have better standard of living they will have something to lose and they will have fewer children.

I use to tolerate Pat because he was correct on many domestic issues, but he has really progressed to actually sympathizing with the terrorists.
