Comments on: Arabs to palestinians: Support, but not money http://www.yourish.com/2006/02/20/746 Cutting straight to the point Sun, 21 Mar 2010 14:28:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Michael Lonie http://www.yourish.com/2006/02/20/746/comment-page-1#comment-2637 Michael Lonie Tue, 21 Feb 2006 04:59:35 +0000 http://www.yourish.com/2006/02/20/746#comment-2637 Kay, The key point, the absolutely crucial point, is that any Pali leader, or any other Pali for that matter, who tried to make some realistic accomodation with Israel would have the life expectancy of a mouse at a cat convention. The militants would kill him in an eyeblink, on the orders of the other "leaders" who enforce the death cult that is Palestinian Nationalism. Thus it has always been, since the days when Hajj Amin Al-Husayni and his brothers were killing off the other heads of notable Palestinian Arab families in the 1920s. You can see the cowardice of so many of the Western news media over the threats made against them by a few Muslim radicals living in the West over those banal Danish cartoons. Imagine the climate of fear for somebody living surrounded by such savages all the time. This talk of cutting off the money is good news, I think. Starving the PA of funds seems to me the best way, short of all-out violence, of twisting the PA's arm into some kind of sensible course of action. If Hamas can't pony up the gelt for money favoring and welfare handouts that the Palis are accustomed to, they won't last long at the top of the greasy pole. It may not work, but it's more hopeful than some absurd form of appeasement of the unappeaseable. Kay,

This talk of cutting off the money is good news, I think. Starving the PA of funds seems to me the best way, short of all-out violence, of twisting the PA’s arm into some kind of sensible course of action. If Hamas can’t pony up the gelt for money favoring and welfare handouts that the Palis are accustomed to, they won’t last long at the top of the greasy pole. It may not work, but it’s more hopeful than some absurd form of appeasement of the unappeaseable.

Except that isn't going to happen. Why? Because not one single 'leader' amongst the Palestinians could recognise the fact because they are consumed with blind hatred for Israel. Those that are less blinded know that they have their positions of authority because of the situation with Israel and are loathe to abandon their course. The palestinians need a huge paradigm shift and I just don't see it coming, at least not for a very long time if ever.

That doesn't obviate the main point, of course, which is that the Palestinians are valued by their Arab brothers for, and only for, their value as a weapon against Israel and the west. My own opinion is that the Palestinians refugees are entitled to the same sympathy and support we give to the displaced Sudeten Germans, eastern Poles, Ionian Greeks and Salonikan Turks, all of whom are also languishging in camps long after...oh, wait.
