The PLO has a long, destructive past. What if they used their statehood to double their military expenditures, but this time they could get more powerful weapons, with the intent of destroying Israel?

But the statehood that Arafat wants includes the lands of Israel.

Right now Arafat and his terrorist goons are still pulling the strings. In effect the USA IS negotiating with Arafat.

Don't get me wrong. I would love to see a just peace between Israel and the Arabs. But the decades of Arab violence against Jews, and the unwillingness of the Arabs to compromise, leads me to be very sceptical of Arab intentions this time too.

Hopefully this is the Arabs LAST chance.
