>>The Palestinians I know are adamant about it.<<

What do they think about the situation?

Earlier in the week one station (Fox, maybe, or maybe MSNBC - not CNN) had a Muslim commentator who was condemning Arafat for his duplicity on this issue. He stated that his wife was Palestinian. Did not get his name but he might have been Pakistani.

On the other hand, today on CNN I saw a piece about a New York Jewish man who is acting as a "human shield" for Arafat now - he said this was the way to bring peace to the region - and he is engaged to a Palestinian woman.

BTW, the Muslims I know mostly complain about how one-sided the US is, how the US favors Israel and Israel mistreats the Palestinians, but I've never heard them say that Israel should not exist.
