#1 Fayad also has a bridge he would like to sell. Interested, Director Woolsey?

#2 An Fayad's Paleostinian state would border --- Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt and all seacoasts in between, right?

#3 Fayad himself is a decent fellow. He is likeable, competent, and not corrupt.

However, he is one guy and there are a lot of the other kind.

#4 What kind of state are they envisioning - a constitutional republic or a sharia-based theocracy? If it's sharia (and I can't imagine it wouldn't be), then of course dhimmitude would exist. And the muzzies would argue that that would be giving the dhimmis full rights.

#5 Fayad envisions a secular democratic state with a muslim majority, somewhat like Indonesia.

I think that perhaps 10 to 30% of the West Bank population would agree. Perhaps an equal number would like a Sharia state. IMO, most of the West Bankers would be happy with any non corrupt State even with limited civil rights.

#6 LGs first comment is right on

The PA can pass a law allowing Jews to live and even buy property in Hebron. Actually protecting them from locals (or, for that matter, protecting folks who sell or lease property to them) is something else entirely. Both because of limits on ability, and the political costs of clamping down on locals that way.
