The Palestinians
Bookworm on Mar 20 2008 at 9:05 am | Filed under: Palestinians
Starting with a recent poll taken of Palestinians — one that showed that, despite the Gaza withdrawal, they fully support increased killings in Israel — Richard Baehr has written an exceptionally good article examining the Palestinians. For me to analyze it or try to summarize it would be a waste of your time, when you can simply scooch on over and read the original.

I was at the anti-war rally last night in the city and it was really striking how about half of it was workers blah blah blah and the rest was palestine blah blah we hate Israel. The amount of time the speakers spent talking about Israel was really astounding, especially since it was supposed to be an Iraq focused event.
Peace for the Palestinians would mean they would have to assume responsibility for a responsible form of government. One can almost hear the voice of Maynard G. Krebbs saying “WORK”.
So much easier to blame Israel, Jews, the USA, any day in the week with a letter ‘y’ for failures. Failure in leadership, failure in infrastructure, failure to educate, failure to come to terms with reality. The ‘aha’ moment is that there is no failure in faulting every one and every thing for your own failures.
As long as the terrorists are funded by the USA, EU, UN, where is the incentive to build rather than to bomb. Gaza implodes daily under the weight of reckless behaviors. When the word, martyr, is removed from the equation and replaced with tears and the pain of loss of a life there will be more of equal playing field.
The Palestinians are ultimately what Arabs, Persians, blacks in America, blacks in Africa, and all other aggrieved minorities will become should such folks fail to break free of their bonds of slavery.
The physical bonds that weigh a person’s wrists and ankles are nowhere near as strong as the mental and spiritual bonds that a person willingly accepts.
