| #5 President Abbas is going to have to do some fast talking to paper over what his religious affairs minister said in his presence. However, it seems the RA ministry is more of a propaganda arm than a keeper of the faith job, Fatah/PLO/PA being the secular/Soviet-trained branch of Palestinian political philosophy. The real men of faith are over on the other side, running the Gaza Strip; such are their convictions regarding the Jewish Entity that they refuse negotiations altogether. Or so it seems to me. |

| #3 Maybe they want to claim what the Philistines used to have, before the people of Israel punched them in the chops too. Of course, the Philistines were also invaders so I don't know how they could use the for a claims case. |

| #1 Isn't Jerusalem - Jew-rusalem - like THE original Jewish place in the world? What gives the Paleos claim on it? |
