Of course Dr. Pipes may be right. On the other hand, a leader who realistically thinks that now is not the right time to battle Israel might come to the same conclusion in 5 or 10 years, or for the rest of the time he is in charge.

More important are the repeated polls and such that tell us the Palestinian masses still support the destruction of Israel. So the next government of Palestine is more likely to take a hostile or violently hostile attitude toward Israel.
