I'll say this: when Israelis kill Palestinians, the Israeli government takes action. They are investigating the settlers who rampaged and murdered a Palestinian man. When do the Palestinians ever take serious action against their own for murdering Israelis? The Palestinians encourage murder, they idolize the killers. Their imams preach murder of Jews in their mosques, they teach their children filthy lies about Judaism in their schools and textbooks, the PA's official maps call all of Israel occupied territory not just the West Bank and Gaza. Arafat is now saying he accepts the Clinton peace plan he rejected in Dec. 2000 when he started the second intifada. If he'd accepted it then, he'd have a real state now. All Israel wants is peace (with the exception of a minority of religious zealots who want to keep the settlements, which most Israelis would give up for peace). What do the Palestinians really want - peace and a state, or all of Israel and war?
