What can you say about a people who are ruled by corrupt theocratic warlords? There is no hope for those who put religious hatred before democracy and who allow the product of their labor to be spirited away into Swiss bank accounts. These are people who are opposed to modernity - even if they were given all of Israel they would still live in tents. You can criticize the Israelis for strong-arm tactics but at least Israel strives for peace and prosperity. The people who call themselves Palestinians don't even have a claim to the land. Not only was there never a country called Palestine but the Arabs who lined up to deliver a death blow to Israel in '67 lost the war. What do you say to people who lose a war and still want to keep the territory? Maybe its time to apply for Jordanian or Egyptian citizenship so you can be free to spend your days praying to Allah for a new muslim caliphate.
