May 8, 2008: The Palestinians are fragmenting into dozens of mutually antagonistic factions. The new West Bank police, organized by Fatah, has found themselves battling clan, political and religious militias. Hamas continues to support attacks on Israel, which comes down to several crude Kassam rockets fired into southern Israel each day, plus several attempts to attack Israeli troops guarding the border between Gaza and Israel. Hamas continues to insist that, long range, they will destroy Israel. Because of that, Israeli military leaders do not want to have any ceasefire with Hamas, believing it will be used to pile up more rockets and fortifications for their next major attack on Israel. But the U.S., Europeans and Arab nations want a cease fire, so the Israelis continue to negotiate. Everyone understands that a ceasefire would not be an absolute halt to violence. Several Palestinian terrorist groups would refuse to participate in any ceasefire, and the Israelis would go after key terrorist personnel after such attacks.
Since these peace talks began six months ago, nearly 500 people, most of them Palestinians, have died in terrorist attacks and counter-terror operations. Currently, the UN is demanding that Israel resume fuel shipments to Gaza, despite Hamas attacks on the fuel transfer gate and facilities. Hamas is using the fuel shortage to keep their security forces moving, while denying mobility to the anti-Hamas groups in Gaza.
More Arab diplomats are privately telling the Palestinians (both Hamas and Fatah) that the Arab world is fed up with Palestinian squabbling, corruption and general inability to move forward. This is not expected to change anything, and avoids the fact that the Arab nations caused many of the Palestinians problems by not allowing Palestinians to migrate to other Arab nations after 1947 (the Palestinians could only stay as refugees). Israeli traditionalists see all this as an opportunity to take control of more land in the West Bank (which they see as part of “Greater Israel”) and East Jerusalem (traditionally the Arab side of town). The Palestinians insist on removing all Israelis from areas they have moved into since 1967 (when Israel conquered the West Bank). That is not likely to happen because the small religious parties in the Israeli parliament are crucial for forming a government.
In Lebanon, Hezbollah has become increasingly violent, using groups of masked men to attack similarly outfitted pro-government (Sunni and Christian) gangs. Neither side is willing to spark another civil war, yet both sides are becoming more aggressive.
That only took what? A couple hundred years? Gosh, with any luck, Arabs may catch up to the 16th century soon.
Sure, but they hate Israel much more.
Only since 1936, when the British decided to help the Arabs chase out all the Jews.
That’s just weird. It isn’t like the Palestinians to be fragmentary or antagonistic.
>> Arabs Fed Up With “Palestinians”
Well, welcome to the party — bad traffic?

Welcome to the club, we've got jackets.
Actually, the Arabs can’t stand the Palis at all.
The PLO fought a war with Jordan in 1970 when the Jordanians were stupid enough to take them in. The Palis decided to attack Israel from their new home. Retailiation inevitably killed Palis and Jordanians. The Jordanians decided to get rid of these parasite ingrates, with force.
The palis went to Lebannon, formerly a French colony, a tourist site called the “Paris of the east.” As we see, the Palis managed to completely eff up that nation too.
How many Arab nations take these scumbags in? NONE. They are a CURSE to everything they touch. But as another poster stated “The Arabs hate Isreal more.”
Too bad that Stargate device doesn’t exist. If it did, we could shove the friggin Palis through it onto their own world.
A world about to be culled by the Wraith.
This was inevitable. The "Palestinians" were never anything but the Arab world's cast-offs and unwanteds, a miscellaneous hodge-podge of malcontents, losers and goodfornothings.
Name me one thing that the "Palestinians" have created in their entire existence. I double dare ya.
Yep, nothing has changed. Arabs never really cared much for Palestinians, but as long as they are bombing Jew, Arabs cheer them on.
.....Name me one thing that the “Palestinians” have created .....
Dislike and disgust by the Saudis. They are not knowingly allowed in Saudi Arabia
The quotes are appropriate around Palestinians since half of them may not be and the other half aren’t sure.
There are Palestinians in Saudi Arabia. They are treated as second class citizens, but all non-Saudis are treated that way. Of all the countries, actually, Saudis are one of the few in which there is a civilian sentiment that Palestinian fighters are brave & courageous. Most others hate them for losing land to Jews. Reason being that Saudis are stereotyped as lazy & cowardly & many take it to heart, resulting in admiration of the Palestinian fighters.
I don’t know why the whole world focuses on this tiny little group of people.
There are thousand of more people in tribes in africa who want to kill each other and you don’t see the entire world involving themselves in that idiocy, do you?
Fence off a large area and jail or execute anyone promoting voilence- The whole place is only 14 miles wide at certain points
Hey, you would be fed up too if most of your seed money was being spent on the Palis killing each other than killing Israelis as intended.
They are like the devil, never ever created anything but destroyed everything. They will know no peace until their children are all dead.
If the Israelis had any sense left they would just line up the bulldozers West of the West Bank and North of the Gaza Strip and just push the whole damn mess of them into Jordan and Egypt then build a giant wall all along the new border. Problem solved.
Well what took them so long to reach this point?
Israeli traditionalists see all this as an opportunity to take control of more land in the West Bank (which they see as part of “Greater Israel”)
traditionalists? do they mean to say "emesdik yidden actually care about Yehuda and Shomron? Whats with this west bank stuff anyhow? how far can a river bank really go?
"greater Israel". do they mean the borders that are discussed in Torah that will come during yemos HaMoshiach?
The Palestinians insist on removing all Israelis from areas they have moved into since 1967
who wants to live in an arab city? this is okay provided that arabs are removed from areas Israel moved into since 1967 too. that would leave a handful of communities in the Galilee and a few others. I can live with that.
That is not likely to happen because the small religious parties in the Israeli parliament are crucial for forming a government.
is it only the "small religious parties" who care about Yosh? ridiculous.
Known ever since as "Black September".

If Israel could be invisible for about 5 years, there would be no Arabs/Palis left - they’d all kill each other.
“which comes down to several crude Kassam rockets fired into southern Israel each day”
The writer has a bit of a bias. The Kassams aren’t exactly crude and it just a touch more than “several times a day”!
BUMP!
BUMP!
“Arabs Fed Up With “Palestinians”
The irony here is that the Israeli’s are the only people in the Middle East that will tolerate them.
Unfortunately, the Isrealis (God bless them) have their share of loser leftists.
Terrorism, murder, torture, skyjackings, the list goes on and on...
