Abbas praised the martyrs who made the disengagement possible. He's praising the suicidal murderers as the people who made Israel leave Gaza. Nothing about peace talks, nothing about Israel's desire for peace. He praised killers and then said the Jerusalem is next. He's not off to a good start if it was his start. But it's not. He's been at the job for a while now and has not cracked down on terrorism, not fulfilled a single signed agreement and now he's using the words of the terrorists themselves. How much time does he get before the next one and the next one.
And the rocket attacks has NO response on either side. Israel is holding back for now and the PA is doing nothing. Until the world stops coddling the Palestinians and holds them to a peace agreement, there will be no peace. Until the cult of death that has spawned off suicide bombings is replaced with a desire for life, there will be no peace. Until the teaching of hate and death is stopped, until there is a desire for peace in this and the next generation, there will be none. This is why I posted this in the first place. There has been NO protest from the UN, the Pope or anyone else over the actions of the Palestinians. It's a 'wait and see' mode that the world has been in for the last 20+ years. Wait till the next move. Don't force them. Don't upset them. Does it matter that journalists are being kidnapped? Nope. Does it matter that Arab Christians are being attacks and abused. Nope. Wait and see. wait and see. wait and see. > You are right. Israel has made concessions and tried for peace. But how > much of that was during Arafat's leadership of the Palestinians?
