Re: Democracy for the Palestinians before they even have a land to call home? That is our Mr. Bush.

You've got two flaws:

#1) Arafat is THE biggest obstacle to peace.  Over the decades, Israel 
has repeated shown a sincere desire to deal in good faith with the arabs
in creating a Palestine.  Every single time it has been Arafat who has 
walked away from negotiations.  No peace is possible as long as Arafat 
retains power.  Period.

#2) Who are the Palestinians anyways?  Arafat is... Egyptian!  
Not even close to the supposed Palestinian lands.  But anyways 
there has NEVER been a country of Palestine, and there is no 
nation of Palestine.  There is no unified palestinian culture,
no unique palestinian language, no palestinian traditions 
(homicide bombing doesn't count as a tradition!), indeed, they 
aren't even all of the same descent - some are egyptian, some 
are Jordanian, some are Lebanese, etc.  There is no such thing 
as Palestinians.  These people who call themselves Palestinians 
are a political tool of other arabs, a pawn against the jews.  
That's it.  Most arabs despise the "Palestinians" only slightly 
less than they despise the jews.  They all know it is a farce, 
but it is a necessary one in their war to exterminate the jews.

There were arabs who lived in the region before Israel was created, 
but they were not a unified people who called themselves Palestinians.
The nation of palestine is a highly artificial one forged only in the
second half of the twentieth century as a foil to jewish settlement in
the middle east.


Peace isn't a option, only the elimination of all jews from the 
middle east is acceptable.  If the issue of Palestine was to be
solved tomorrow, something else would happen to again bring the 
jews under assault from the arabs.  Indeed, some arab countries 
are still technically at war with Israel and do not officially
recognize its existance!


You completely misunderstand the fundamental issue here.
It isn't about Palestine - the arabs *really* don't care about 
Palestine one way or the other, it's about the liquidation of 
the jews.
