CNN's Fareed Zakaria suggested Tuesday that Palestinians have to attack Israelis to "get some kind of attention" from the Jewish state.
Zakaria fretted to host Don Lemon that the rocket attacks from Hamas, the terrorist group that controls the Gaza Strip, are self-defeating since they "only move Israelis to the right." Sparked by tensions in Jerusalem, the rockets targeted civilian areas like Tel Aviv, leading to an Israeli counteroffensive in Gaza.
"Israel is the most powerful nation in the Middle East by far. It is essentially a regional superpower," Zakaria said in a clip flagged by NewsBusters. "So what the Palestinians have to, I mean, they're frustrated, they're trying to get some kind of attention. In my opinion, they often do self-defeating things. These kind of rocket attacks only move Israelis to the right.

They all need to become Jordanian Arabs.
Oh, they’re getting attention, alright.
Apparently Fareed believes murderous mass terror bombings are a legitimate form of self-expression. Kind of like graffiti art, or letters to the editor.
Or maybe they could just learn to live in peace.....
the Arabs need to be returned to Arabia
this will enable peaceful life for Christians, Jews, and others in Israel
plus it has the added benefit that the Saudis (and Egyptians) know how to deal with terrorist murder gangsters and thugs... while Israel obviously does not
Its been like this for 70 years. The Palestinian leadership are global welfare pimps. They get money and infrastructure from the world (and Israel), and to get attention and more cash, they riot and launch some missiles. The world then waves its finger at Israel, and Israel is never allowed to solve the problem.
The IDF is giving them all the attention in the world.
They could loot and burn their own cities in mostly peaceful protests...
They don’t deserve attention. I am sick to death of Palestinians.
Iran did the same thing with Obama, and is trying the same with Biden.
He is the epitome of the Smart-Set-That-is-not-that-smart.
Or burning down neighborhoods and rioting.
Is that like saying, “some people did something?”
Weak president willing to acquiesce to the mullahs. Yeah, peace through obsequiousness. That's the ticket.
“...the Arab nations will eventually poor revenue in as this gets hotter. Palestinian leadership play like Kim in N.Korea...Revenue crunch = time to set off rockets = incoming food and revenue.”
Courtesy of Obama backing Iran’s nuclear deal, the political situation has dramatically changed for the Arab states. They are no longer interested in the Palestinians. Only Biden is interested. The Arabs are extremely concerned about Iran, Syria, Turkey and Iraq. We can throw in the Kurds as seasoning. What Trump successfully set up was a coalition based around Israel tech and nuclear power to counter Iran and Turkey. They have nothing to gain and everything to lose by continuing to back the Palestinians.
As for making them Jordanian, that would collapse one of the more stable and dependable Israeli allies. That’s a non-starter. For an analogy, suppose you took all the American Civil War secessionists and moved them into New York. Just because they’re Arabs and Muslims does not mean they are all the same, have common interests or don’t actually hate each other.
Obama intended to let Iran become a nuclear power to balance out Israel and Saudi Arabia. That’s because his advisor was an Iranian agent whose family are terrorists. A nuclear Iran would blackmail the world worse than North Korea.
They’ve been getting all the attention they want by killing civilians; how much more attention do they want? Israel: Hey, we gonna give you all our attention.
Exactly. These savages have been causing trouble my entire life.
And of course the communists have been propping them up the whole time.
