#1 The Arafish will not rest in peace (pun intended)
until he completely and ireversibly destroys any chance for his people to see a reasonable agreement with Israel in their liftimes.
It's high time his own people see the light and assasinate him before the shit hits the fan.
Maybe a civil war is better than the alternative ?
The problem with them is that they are not pragmatic and will continue their stupid terrorist acts until they loose everything they had and more.

#3 However, Qureia has said he cannot use force against Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other groups for fear of sparking civil war.

Can anyone explain to me why this should be a problem for us?

#4 Because we'll be blamed for failing to stop the Paleo Civil War. Not that I personally care about that little detail...

#5 I am amazed at the similarity between the Palestinian mind-set and that of the hard-core liberals in America. Both deal with emotion. EMOTION is the driving force behind their actions; not logic; not cause-and-effect; not end results -- just pure, unbridled EMOTION. This is what leads our liberals to support sexual freedom of any kind with anyone; to support anti-Christian values (which inhibit some emotions); and to support the dialog of personal destruction in debates (even among themselves).

It is all pretty discusting and petty and I am very disturbed about this possible linking of EMOTION between the Palestinian (and other jihadists) and the Americal Liberals.

#6 Maybe folks were too busy following the Supreme court's 1st Amendment ruling but this ws not commented on in the big media
PLO tries challenge to Israel's UN seat
What will be interesting will be to see how Europe reacts.

#7 ..Qureia has said he cannot use force against Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other groups for fear of sparking civil war.

This affliction (also suffered by Abu Mazen) is called "being unable to make the hard decisions".
