#2 I think they're doing very well. Just acting like the rabid dogs they are.

#4 But instead of acting like elected representatives and serving the interests of their public, Palestinian ~~Iraqi and Iranian leaders~~ are behaving like rival gang chiefs and are dragging their entire population into a deadly and pointless street war

But this is the Arab way, you wouldn't undersand!!!!

#5 The Paleos have always been their own worst enemies. They simply weren't flaunting it so obviously before.

#6 In fairness, the situation in the Occupied Territories can be attributed to a long list of factors over which Palestinian leaders have little or no control. These include the crippling embargo that was imposed after the elections produced results that were unacceptable to Western nations

In fairness, they elected Nazis. If Palestinian leaders cannot be held accountable for being Nazis there is nothing they can be held responsible for. This, of course, is the few of the Nazi "left" but such is to quibble.

Palis have the right to elect anyone they like. We have the right to provide support or not. Our support is not an entitlement. True, there were fair elections. Or at least fair enough. But decisions have consequences.
