Interesting snippet from Barry Rubin's last column (he writes for the Jerusalem Post):


Recently, I had dinner with a well-known Palestinian intellectual, who spent the entire evening complaining in great detail about the Arab states' mistreatment of the Palestinians, citing very specific examples.

At the end, he concluded: "Maybe we're better off with the Israelis."

The next day - at a conference, of course - he provided a totally propagandistic presentation whose dominant theme was that everything is always Israel's fault.

In a real sense, that performance illustrates the lack of both honesty and pragmatism which has led to this point in Israel-Palestinian relations.
