"Doesn't stop the PLO from claiming that Jews have nothing to do with Arabs or the land of Israel. Arafat just fired Nusseibeh for the heresy of admitting that Jews do, indeed, have some historical connection to Jerusalem."

And as a friend of Israel, i must interject here that Israelis must not make the same mistake about Arab "historical connection" to the land as well. There is a body of belief in Likud that argues just that.
Sharon has not bought into that belief (yet) which leads to the end of a two state solution with israel becoming a pariah state,like South Africa was.
Of course many would rightfully say that israel has already gained pariah state status while Palestinian terror gets a free pass. And of course this perception by Israelis makes it easier for them to say the hell with it and seize the land the terrorists operate from and send the arabs there packing.
A terrible web whose origins to be sure rest with Arab inability since 1947 to accept the reality of Israel. But one that can lead to greater tragedies down the road if the Israels fail to learn from Palestinain mistakes and try to take away the hope of a palestinian state. mike
