You yourself cite evidence for that through out the rest of the post.<BR/><BR/>I also think it's a mistake to ask whether the Palestinians "deserve" a state. The only valid question is, "does a Palestinian state server our purposes?". I think it does. There is so much more than can be done to a hostile state rather than an occupied territory. You might note that the rulers of Hamas and the PLO clearly realize this and have done all in their power to thwart statehood, knowing what a loser it is for them and a benefit for us.Susan's Husbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02862667802025231163noreply@blogger.com
