Mr. Ken Besig,

You seem to have quite a brain, very articulate and well-informed, but aren't your comments supportive of Daniel Pipes' article? Contribution, support of any kind contributes to the problem, whereas forced individual self-determination liquidates it?

The individual Palestinian has acclimated himself into the Israeli population and has benefited by it, while to those Palestinians adhering and supportive towards their own leadership, the power showered onto their leadership has proved detrimental.

Daniel Pipes has hit the mark with this article.
