The idea that the Palestinians can formulate and eficiently govern an independent state is a pipe dream hashed up by a lot of utopian dreamers living in la la land.. Prehaps Plato would think them wise but most real practical folk will regard them as absolute fools. These people need someone strong, a father figure with abslolute authority to govern and to rule over them. They are lost otherwise.

These Arabs are totally incapable of introspection to any useful degree. They look only to the outside for someone else to blame for their misery, They refuse to consider that it might be in any way profitable for them to change their attitudes and seek a different way to approach the outer world. They are incapable of adapting to the twenty first century and prefer to live in the seventeenth century where their every thought was dictated by some despot. They cannot comprehend the idea of personal responsibility or social cooperation beyond the primitive emotional responses of tribalism. What can be expected from such a people?
