Thankyou Dr. Pipes for pointing out that despite the rhetoric of peace coming from the PLO, they have not changed their strategy one tiny bit. I would like to know how the PLO is even credible, when they fire rockets in civilian areas, which causes mass destruction among civilians.
These tactics are definitely about intimidation, and causing Israelis into submission. Israel and American governments do need to realize that appeasement brings more appeasement, and more violence, and more attacks. The strategy to have a Palestinian State is being negotiated by people who are looking through Rose Colored Glasses. They are negotiating under the premises of what they would like to happen, but not on the reality and likelihood, that the strategy has not worked and Will Not work!
The Christian Americans totally understand the horrific problems, because we understand biblical history, and the problems and wars of all past histories between Israel and Palestine. It doesn't take an Einstein to see that Radical Islam wants to dominate the entire world, and will use senseless violence, to achieve their goal, by mass killings.
