Majority of Palestinians against dismantlement of terror groups
Maariv International ^ | 12/20/04 | Jacky Hougi

A new poll conducted in the Palestinian Authority has revealed that a large majority of Palestinians fear the continued state of lawlessness on the streets, but at the same time nearly 70% object, at this stage, to the dismantlement of terror groups.

The above figures are a cause for concern for PLO Chairman and leading candidate in the January 9 Palestinian elections, Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), who last week came out against the use of arms in the intifada.

In addition, 51% said Fatah could bring about an improvement in their situation, in comparison with only 25% who named Hamas.

Similar to previous polls, the survey showed that more Palestinians support the peace process: 69% were in favor of holding talks with Israel.

I wouldn't expect anything less from people who danced in the streets when they saw the Towers collapse.

Of course. Terror groups are the only employers of consequence in Palestine. No terror groups, no jobs.

This is proof positive as to just how friggin' clueless these dumbass people are about their situtation. They are too friggin' stupid to realize that the reason they are sitting in a pile of shit with Israel is the very existence of the terror groups. If they ever want to have their own state they better wise up real quick before they step on Sharon's last nerve and he decides there is nothing left to lose by flattening all of Palestine.

No peace for the Palestinians until the terror groups go.

The ball is in their court.

Its Tradition for crying out loud. "My father was a terrorist, his father was a terrorist as were 3 of my great-grandparents, and 5 of my great-great-grandparents, so you see this is asking more than a little political jockeying, its a matter of identity and family history, unless of course we could be hired out at union wages, with health insurance and a 401K, I would have to think about it, tell you what, I'll have my people get back to your people and see if their isn't a deal that will satisfy us both.. OK?....good...but first I have to kill you....its tradition!

Eventually Israel will get tired of palestinian terrorism, and realize they prefer dismantling palestinians. This is because eventually you have to face the one law of diplomacy that diplomats will never admit:
Sometimes there is no diplomatic solution.

It's amazing how quickly your opponents discover a previously non-existing diplomatic solution once you visibly take this lesson to heart. That is the paradox of diplomancy.

The middle east will not see peace until the palestinians are put face to face with imminent and overwhelming liquidation. And even then they will probably be too stupid to grow the hell up and will probably be eliminated. Wait and see.

Well, I guess there is no pretending anymore that the Arab League is up to any peaceful thing in Israel. 70% of the population being for mass murder is way past the point of being able to construct a State. An insane asylum perhaps, but not a culture.

The only reasonable choice at this point is wipe them out for the sake of mankind. Must be a new form of rabies.
