#2 Over here, candidates have people who hold campaign signs at intersections during rush hour. Over there, candidates have people who blow up the intersection during rush hour.

#3 Being carried around on the shoulders of violent gun-toting terrorists will certainly up Abbas' credibility with the Israelis.

I see zero promise for any significant change. If support from the terrorist factions is important to Abbas, it means he is unable to force their hand. All that signifies is how the terrorists are still in control. Until that changes, nothing else will.

It's time for Israel to begin absorbing a specific amount of territory (never to be given back) for each year that goes by without peaceful resolution. Perhaps 1,000 acres or something like that. This is the reward for Israel's patience and punishment for the Palestinians not coming to the table sooner.

#4 Abbas,...has been courting armed groups in recent days, even though he has spoken out against violence and called for a negotiated settlement with Israel... whether Abbas is playing campaign politics or identifying with violent groups.

How about both.
