| Abbas: Palestinian unity gov't must support two-state solution |
| 2009-03-01 |
| Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday said that a Palestinian unity government with Hamas must support a two-state solution, reiterating a call by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the Islamic group to recognize Israel. In a Ramallah speech, Abbas said progress was being made toward establishing a Palestinian unity government "that will be committed to our values and will respect agreements previously signed by the Palestinian Authority," Army Radio reported. However, Hamas official Aiman Taha reportedly stressed that his group rejects any kind of preconditions and noted that Abbas's speech was lowering the prospects that the reconciliation talks between the Fatah and Hamas will succeed. "Hamas will never agree to sit in a government that recognizes Israel," he reportedly said. |

| #3 The Paleos already have a state, Jordan. These guys remind of a quote from the collapse of European African colonies in the 60's. A rioter was asked what "Uhuru" meant to him. He said "it means we take the white man's house, his land, and his women." The Paleos just want Israel because the Israelis have improved the property. If every Israeli were to miraculously disappear, the Paleos would turn the prosperous land into a a Mediterranean Zimbabwe in about 5 years. They are locusts, consumers rather than creators, a plague on mankind. |

| #1 One state for Paleos originating in Egypt (Gaza), and one state for Paleos originating in Syria (West Bank)? |
