#2 Salam Fayyad is about the best Palestinian that has ever been in their govt. He is more honest than most American or Israeli elected officials (obviously more honest than Paleo officials) and has almost no inclination toward violence.

Having the US Consul cuddle up to Fayyad may, in the long run, not be so good for Fayyad's image but it has probably only a minimal effect. On the other hand the relationship between the IDF and the PA police has improved hugely under Fayyad with the PA police (with IDF support) now able to keep tabs on many, many Hamas activists.

#3 You realize, of course , those Olives picked by US Consul General Daniel Rubinstein will be markd "Unclean" and trashed.

They were touched by a (Yuck) JEW.

#4 They might be sold to Israel, Redneck Jim. Israel used to be big customer of Palestinian produce.
