Short-Sighted Patronization of 'Palestinian' Political Intrigues

Peace Agreement did not Change Political Intentions:

While there is the sense that this post appears somewhat genuine in its presentation, a further sense that there is an underlying tone of sarcasm and disingenuous sentiments, all based on earlier representations of the poster, which give a thought to the potential patronization of the more intrinsic subject matter than what might be considered serious political implications towards Israel.
Simply put, it would be considered an insult to the UAE, Bahrain, potentially the Sudan and more embarrassingly, the Saudi and other Arab kingdoms; yet considering the source, that they might believe they have conceded any of their own sovereignty while coming to a conclusion that Israel does indeed, deserve a chance at peace in the community of the Middle East.
There is the further mistake, one that would appear to be easily made from a region that has little to offer the 'Palestinian' people in a respite or relief of their self-imposed isolationist tendencies derived from historical misrepresentations, that the 'Palestinian' people are somehow suffering extreme issues except those from their own leadership.
It is further inferred that non-Arab interlopers (including some sentiments from American secularistic democratic socialists) are not the best arbiters of what solutions are required to give the 'Palestinian' people a sense of their own security, since incitement from outsiders (like non-Arab Muslim ideological antipathies) appears to keep them trapped without any sense of hope.
Answer to No 1- Simple: do not shoot at Israel and they will have no reason to shoot back!
Answer to No 2 – that has been offered and categorically rejected by leadership who do not want to lose power! BTW, a two-state solution was never a starter: ask anyone in the PA power structure who will tell the truth, in English, Hebrew, and not just in Arabic.
Answer to No 3 – Something that a non-Arab will find hard to understand: 'Palestinians' are just as Arab as any other descendant of Ismael is with rights to live in peace; and the Arab League is not defeated in the UAE/Bahraini agreement, so there is no loss of face in seeking peace with neighbors respecting others.
My apologies Dr. Pipes, for butting in.
