The Palestinian Authority

Submitted by Kiel Hesselmann (Denmark), May 8, 2010 at 15:12

Palestinian democracy and governance has from the early days of Chairman Yasser Arafat been a laugh. And is still a laugh, now Abbas is in charge. The Arabs in the West Bank and in Gaza can't form any sustainable state of their own. If you lack talent and skill in building a house, then you can try to destroy what your nabour has accompliced.

Islamist or "jihadi-warrior" or plain Palestinian Authority official are just the same. So I find it justificable to label the terrorists "bad" (Hamas and Hezbollah people) and the "good" ones (the PA-people). In the end you can't trust any of them. They all seek Israel's destruction.

So, Israelis, hold on to your settlements in Judea and Samaria - not to speak about Jerusalem.
