Trouble is, after Arafat, what? A "final solution"?
You like the sound of those words... don't you?
No. I do not. The trouble specifically is the horrendous roll reversal facing the Israelis. The future of the Palestinians appears to be limited to two bleak choices - annihilation or absolute submission. Their abysmal lack leadership coupled with abundant legitimate grievances makes middle ground precious scarce to non existent.
The Palestinians appear unwilling to submit.
The Israelies appear to be unable to concede that the Palestinians DO HAVE ANY legitimate grievances. . . to do so would present the appearance of weakness - an invitation (they think) to be pushed into the sea.
Deadlock.
Eternal conflict.
Submission
Final solution.
Take your pick, vrwc54. I cannot see hope for either side at this point - at least so long as neither side is willing to change.
