To: O.C. - Old Cracker

That is precisely the problem, and that is one of several reasons the Palestinians must never be granted sovereignty.

There also were reports of corruption and nepotism.

No kidding. A guy with no personal income died a billionaire. A guy whose primary source of funding was international aid intended to help his people managed to become one of the wealthiest men in the world while the people the money was intended for starved, and still he gets a statesman's sendoff.

The president strongly denounced the Palestinian suicide bombers who took the lives of so many innocent Israelis, but he gave the Israelis a pass when they went into Palestinian refugee camps in Gaza with American-supplied tanks, helicopters and planes to put down the revolt against occupation.

This passes for news in some quarters, that someone should denounce the slaughter of innocents, and that others should visit retribution on their murderers.

The U.S. government ignored his plight

The US government is the main reason he died in bed, rather than lit up like a roman candle as he ought to have been.
