#1 "Fatah Isn't the Answer"

Depends on the question.

Fr'instance, Fatah is the answer to "Who should FOAD?" and "Who are some of the whiniest losers in the ME?"

(Hamas is, too, for that matter.)

#2 The green flags of Hamas are furling over Gaza

That would be, "UN-furling", just one of several glaring mistakes this author makes.

In addition to its fiscal malfeasance and Islamic radicalism, Fatah has never fulfilled its pledges to crack down on terror. Though Mahmoud Abbas routinely criticizes Palestinian terrorist attacks as "contrary to the Palestinian national interest" -- not an affront to morality and international law -- he has never disavowed the al-Aqsa Brigades, a Fatah affiliate responsible for some of the bloodiest attacks against Israeli civilians.

Yet, the author feels compelled to argue that Fatah can be rehabilitated.

Significant opportunities do, however, exist for policy makers -- American, Israeli, and Palestinian -- who are willing to consider new paradigms and incremental steps toward the realization of a durable peace.

The above statement ignores the simple fact that Palestinian leadership absolutely refuses to abandon their duplicity in mouthing peaceful sentiments whilst subsidizing terrorism at every turn.

The only "new paradigms" worth considering are ones that involve the eliumination of all Palestinians who refuse to embrace peaceful coexistence with Israel. If that group numbers every single living Palestinian then they should all be dispatched at the earliest opportunity. It is long past tea for the curtain to be run down upon this "two state" farce. Gaza stands as stark testimony to what sort of "state" the Palestinians would elect to establish.
