I don?t know what makes them so stupid, but it really works.
Now that the Palestinians have shown their true colors, Powell, Anan, the European Union, etc. want a Palestinian state by 2003. Who says crime does not pay?
The Palestinians can undergo cosmetic makeovers ad nauseum, but the leopard can?t change their spots. There can be neither a Palestinian state nor peace with the Palestinians.
You want Palestine? I?ll give you Palestine. Let?s reunite Israel and Jordan to re-create the country of Palestine. This country can have two socio-cultural or religious-political entities. The Jewish Zionists whether in Jerusalem, Haifa, or Amman form one entity. The Christian and Moslem Arabs form the second. The Israeli Arabs in Haifa, Jaffa, and Um El Fahm get Jordanian citizenship, while Jordan abolishes its archaic racist law that prohibits Jews from buying a house, land or even moving to Jordan. The ?Palestinian Authority? repeals the death penalty for any Arab that sells a house or land to a Jew. Jews accept cultural pluralism and adapt to a myriad of cultures and religions infecting Israeli culture and society. Arabs welcome Jews in Amman, Mecca, Damascus and Baghdad. Ridiculous? I agree.
The UN and Saudi?s puppet, the US State Dept, would better spend their efforts relocating the poor pawns of this conflict, the refugees kept against their will in refugee camps in Jordan and Lebanon. While they are at it, the UN and State department should help resettle those caught in the cross-fire: Those Palestinians who have had enough of the reign of terror and want to get out should be helped to find greener pastures. Certainly, those that live a stone?s throw from a Jewish settlement or major road should be re-located. Creating buffer zones so that Jews are not attacked will also prevent Israeli retaliation. 99% of the Palestinians live in six major cities and their suburbs. Relocating the other 1% spread out on 58% of the West Bank and Gaza will eliminate the flashpoints that can trigger a nuclear holocaust. It?s a no brainier.
But the quartet wants a Palestinian State by 2003. It is like the ecumenical council convention where a Rabbi, Minister and Priest went into a room to play poker. The Cardinal walking down the hall overheard what he thought was a card game in progress. He stormed into the room while they all rushed to hide the cards.
?Father, were you playing cards?? he accusingly asked the priest.
The priest launched into a sermon on the evils of gambling and challenges the Cardinal that he should even think that a Priest, the pillar of the Church, the standard-bearer, should even think of playing cards.
?Minister, were you playing cards?? he scornfully asked the minister. The minister put his hands together and insisted that the Cardinal should know better than to ask. Everyone knows that gambling is an abomination to every single Christian sect. Of course, he wasn?t.
?Rabbi, were you playing cards?? he pleadingly asked the Rabbi. The Rabbi throws up his hands, looked the Cardinal in the eye and asked, ?With whom??
Palestinians, even with democracy and fair elections, will not change their core cultural belief that violence against Jews and Americans is always justified. They cheered the Sept 11 attack as they applaud every murder and mutilation of innocent Jewish civilian women and children. Nevertheless, the gullible Americans invariably send their dignitaries to reign in Israel after every single Israeli reaction to major Palestinian attacks. They activate their puppets; the ?no brains? left and insist that Israel negotiate a peace agreement.
?With whom??
Palestinians already have their own state; they do not need another country.
The quartet is beneath my contempt.
