Good piece, but this line

Syria, whose leader recently used Sarin to gas his own people

assumes facts not in evidence.

Nobody is keeping the “Palestinians” from forming a viable state. The elements simply do not exist in that tormented land. What is there can only be described as several mutually untrusting tribes, with little in the way of common interests other than the destruction of Israel.

Even if by some strange arrangement in which the Israelis were transported en masse to another location, with their relocation costs covered and with no loss of life, and the “Palestinians” were to occupy the entire region that is now defined as Israel, the situation for the “Palestinians” would not measurable improve, and may even degenerate further, as they would have access to advanced technology, which would allow them to pursue their tribal rivalries with even more efficient means of subjugating their neighbors.

Not yet ready for prime time. And maybe never.

No such people calling themselves Palestinians before 1946. They’re all from trans-Jordan.

Welcome to “Palestine,” the sweetheart of the misguided, adoring left and the neo-fascist right.

The fascists were socialists, to the "right" of only international communists. To deem them as "right wing" is thus disinformation, and a demonization of conservatism, intentional or otherwise. It is a standard tool of the corporate leftist media to be avoided in a thoughtful forum such as Frontpage Magazine.

I must have missed it, the neo-fascist right is connected

On November 20, 2012 six Palestinian civilians, accused of collaborating with Israel, were dragged from their homes in Gaza City by Palestinian gunmen. The butchery that followed represented depravity in the extreme, even by Palestinian standards. The six were summarily executed before an approving crowd that included children and at least one was dragged through the city streets, tethered to a motorcycle. There was no trial, no jury, no judge, no defense attorney...

That's OK, they are politically acceptable. Now if WE start doing the same to progressives...
