The Palestinians are doing it in a Jewish way

Dear Dr. Pipes,

I remember you have writing that the only way Israel can hope to defeat the Palestinians is to ensure that the Palestinians can have no hope of victory , i.e. they accept defeat and beg Israel and USA for mercy.

The Palestinians have just proven you wrong, Their aspirations for "right of return" is well and alive. Actually this effort of the Palestinians to come back to their native land even after being in the foreign lands for so long just resembles the effort by the Jews who held on to their hope of coming back to Jerusalem for thousands of years. This proves the credentials of the Arabs as the real true descendants of Abraham. Today the Palestinians have just become equal and at per with the Jews in terms of holding on to the dream of coming back to their long lost lands despite all hopes

Whatever the US administrations or US analysts or IDF or Mossad does or even the "moderate" Arab governments do , they have failed to extinguish the burning desire in the Palestinian hearts for coming back to their lands for 60 years.

I would love to have your comments on the same.
