the PA analogy

Submitted by Yuval Brandstetter MD (Israel), Feb 3, 2007 at 05:25

This analogy is off the wall. The PA never had any intention of ending the conflict with Israel. That would be the author' s Occidental mind at work, not reality. Arabs cannot accept the sovereignty of former Dhimmis and therefore the Intifadah was simply the next phase in the phase plan, first get your forces in by agreement than flush the agreement and restart the war. That is the muslim stratagem, world-wide and history long, and no amount of differentiation of Muslim-Islamists will refute this truth.
