Comments on: Hamas and Fatah, together again? http://www.yourish.com/2007/10/03/3772 Cutting straight to the point Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:14:34 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Ed Hausman http://www.yourish.com/2007/10/03/3772/comment-page-1#comment-28895 Ed Hausman Thu, 04 Oct 2007 06:15:12 +0000 http://www.yourish.com/2007/10/03/3772#comment-28895 None of this is real. Whether or not any Palestinian faction has any intention of making peace with Israel is beside the point. None of them have the authority among their own people to make a commitment work. First step, they need to create a true Palestinian community, a civil society with legitimate popular input and support for their government's decisions. Second step, that government must enforce an end to both terror and incitement, without which their population will never understand how to "do" peace. Third step, deport them all to Palestine AKA Jordan, and end this stupid game already. None of this is real.

We are so stupid that we don't recognize it, although anyone who has watched a police TV show should. I'll admit it is complicated a bit in that the two mobs are in competition for power too, and kill each other over who is going to rule their mob concession. But that does not change the fundamental strategy. Egypt is becoming more openly hostile to Israel (and to the USA) than it was, a sure sign that the Arabs think Israel has weakened. Watch for more treachery from Egypt. They are playing a version of “nice cop, mean cop” with Israel and the West.

The only real difference between the two groups, is that one is more media savy, and says to the West what they want to hear, and to the rest of their group, the opposite. The other group does not have enough sense to care at this point, and just says what they really mean to all groups. What saddens me is that some naive people are so hungry for "peace" that "peace in our time" and at all cost, is their temporary solution. How can anyone trust any of these savages?

What is doubted is that their intentions have anything to do with <i>getting along</i>, peace or honesty. Noone doubts the sincerity of their intentions.
