Palistinian State
Reader comment on item: Throwing out the [Arab-Israeli] Rulebook

I've not understood what all the hullabaloo about the creation of a Palestinian state is about. There is such a state. It is called Jordan.

The Arab countries in the area treat the so-called Palestinians as third class people. They don't allow them citizenship in their country. They force them to live in concentration camps. They only use them as serfs that can be discarded at will.

The one thing that the arabs recognize is terror. Only when Israel treats these murderers as they deserve to be treated will they respect Israel. That means ten eyes for one eye, and ten lives for one life. If they need medical treatment let them go to Cairo, Amman, etc. Deny the murderers access to Israeli hospitals. Use Europeans as a labor source and don't hire the desert vermon.

The United States will learn these lessons in Afghanistan and Iraq. Maybe they will allow the Israelis the opportunity to protect itself properly and let it unleash the full force of its fists against the murderers and those who support them--their teachers, clergy, and family who accept money for the deaths of their children in the murder of civilians.
