Seriously Doubt Palestinians Would Do ANYTHING JewishReader comment on item: A Turning Point in the Arab-Israeli Conflict? Submitted by M. Tovey (United States), May 23, 2011 at 18:07 Seriously, no one is going to get this right until the Almighty Eternal Sovereign finally says, "ENOUGH!" Getting to the bottom of this is going to take more than a thousand year old claim to put the correct descendents of Abraham into the land. Oh wait, the prior claim is already established, and the correct Abrahamic descendents ARE in the land. The 'Palestinians' have proved nothing except they can wrangle an argument just as well as any politician, oriental or occidental. They try to appease the situation by employing a variation of 'hudna,' just enough to placate the sentimentalists of the West, but like in 1973, busying themselves with the next push, September this year being the moment of time that the next intifada is likely to start. Even King Abdullah has intimated such. 'Palestinians' will never be at a par with Israel; or any other regional entity (tribal or otherwise) as long as they insist they are more important than anyone else. In reality, as long as the issues remains 'Palestinian,' they will remain pawns for the greater implications of what is about to happen next. Does anyone think Hamas is representing the 'Palestinian' cause, taking the monies that should be used to feed and house the people of Gaza, instead spending who knows how much on foreign-technology based rocketry to prove nothing except their lack of humanity on behalf of their actual sponsors? As for the 'Palestinian' refugee situation, there has been the Muslim inference that the reason the refugees fled is because they did not want to live under Israeli rule. Be that as it may; many of the Muslim ideology in Israel have indicated even under threat of MUSLIM retaliation that life under Israeli rule is not all that bad, better evidently than being in Gaza. Now Dr. Pipes is right in that defeating the 'Palestinians' requires ensuring no hope of victory; but that is a general tenet of warfare and present no special implication here. In that, while the world plays the game of pandering to the 'Palestinian' mindset of wanting Israel evicted, how it is with all the technology and materiel supplied by 'Palestinian' sympathizers from forty and more years ago, Israel remains in the land? The 1973 Yom Kippur incident has a clue. Other clues have been given here before, but no one is listening or paying attention so no iteration is forthcoming here. So who will be content to wait out the summer, through Shavuot, Tisha Ba'av, Rosh Hoshannah etc., to find out what the Almighty Eternal Sovereign is planning? After all, when the nations descend to enforce the world's peace provisions upon Israel, it will be by His plan, not theirs. By that time, (forget about the false influence of May 21, 2011) everyone should consider where they want to be when that happens.
