Sage words from a decade ago, that unfortunately went unheeded: <<< The policy of supporting fundamentalist extremists has come under severe criticism. Pinhas Inbari writes that Israel is making the same mistake in the occupied territories that it made in southern Lebanon, where "the sapping of Palestinian nationalism's strength led to the emergence of Islamic fundamentalism," a far more dangerous force. In the occupied territories, he warns, Israel may undermine the PLO, but "those who didn't want to talk with Arafat will have to do battle with Khomeini". >>> zmag.org I bet many Israeli citizens today (like the families of suicide-bombing victims) wish that their government hadn't nurtured HAMAS in its infancy, and had instead embraced the secular PLO's peace offerings.
