eventually the palestenans will "get it"..it may take them generations (it already has), but one day a leader will emerge that has the political backing, the courage to tell the "palestenain supporters" (those that like the arab countries support mainly their refugee status, and their "right" to kill in order to justify their refugee status..to leave them alone)..then without those "egging them on" they will see an israel that is more than willing to be their neighbors in peace.

on the more interesting side of the article:

its the jews who "invented terrorism" and the palestenians who did the PR work for it to go international

The guide's survey of terrorism begins with Masada and the Zealots: "An organization that exhibited aspects of a modern terrorist organization was the Zealots of Judea. Known to the Romans as sicarii, or dagger-men, they carried on an underground campaign of assassination of Roman occupation forces, as well as any Jews they felt had collaborated with the Romans



The guide also cites the hijacking of an El Al plane to Algiers in 1968 as the moment of the birth of the era of modern terrorism and singles Dr. George Habash out as the midwife. The terrorism of the PLO's various factions was "ethno-nationalist." It contributed to the internationalization of terrorism because it was joined by organizations, which were bored after the conclusion of the American involvement in Vietnam and found a new cause in the Palestinians.


the alternative, the sequel to "spain, england, russia, palestine, germany, looks even less appealing.

one should note that the article uses generalizations to describe the societies....for reasons that baffle me, its usually considered a "no no" to use the tools of sociology/anthropology the describe the character and traits of societies here....ones that have emperical/historical evidence to back them up with.
