#1 Change the television shows, control the mosque sermons, and for God's sake fix the bloody textbooks! Then we'll believe real change is happening... until PM Fayyad is assassinated, at least.

#2 Abbas did say today that clerics who incite violence would not be tolerated - though I think uppermost on his mind was inciting pro-Hamas violence against the new govt, more than anti-Israel violence.

Myself, if they continued to arrest Hamasniks, and to work on disarming Hamas, and even AAMB, I think that warrants corresponding support from Israel. Sure we want the textbooks changed, but Rome wasnt built in a day.

I think Israel should welcome the offer of cooperation.

#3 I second what trailing wife said.

The first Sadat-type leader that the Palestinians produce who is not assassinated forthwith will be the one who can lead them back toward the light of civilization. The Israelis have always shown a desire for constructive cooperation.

Unfortunately, the entire Palestinian society is so dedicated to raising the next generation of jihadists that it might take decades. They have to focus on changing their culture before any external political progress can occur.
