Alex,
That is the standard Arab practice of logical thinking. Most Arabs also believe simultaneously that the 9/11 Attacks were done by the Mossad and that they were a great victory for Islam over the Great Satan. Arabs will master logical thinking when Greeks reckon time by the Calends.

Abbas did a doctoral thesis, never disavowed, denying the Holocaust. I suspect that’s not a good basis for moderation.

I wish the Arabs would make up their minds. They seem to contend alternately that the Holocaust didn’t happen and that Hitler should have finished the job. One or the other, guys.

Are there really members of Israel’s “Security Establishment” so clueless as to think that more Israel concessions to Abbas would achieve anything?

Give it a rest. Let the Arabs stew in their own hatred and poverty for a while. Carry on the economic development of Judea and Samaria as long as there are no significant terrorist attacks from there. Whack the Arabs anytime they attack Israel. After ten years let us see how they feel.

I don’t think of any of them as “moderate” except in how they speak in English.

As nearly as I can tell they all have the same goal, the eradication of Israel as a Jewish
state and the death or at least the deportation of all Israeli Jews, and I wouldn’t want to
be a Palestinian living in Israel if the PLO’s goal is realized, they’ll be just as dead as
the Jews.

Hamas and Hezbollah and Fatah and the rest of the heads of that hydra are just the IRA to
Abbas’ Sinn Fein.
