That's because the Arabs were already there.........they had been there for hundreds of continuous years. The Jews left two thousand years ago in the Great Diaspora. There were few Jews living there until the late 19th/early 20th centuries. If a claim from 2000 years ago is weaker than one from 100 years ago, imagine how much weaker a claim from 50 years ago compared to today. Joe, that doesn't make any sense. The Arabs have been there continuously for those 2k years that the Jews were wandering the earth. Palestinians blew their opportunity to get something 2 years ago. I guess that they will never get anything remotely as good as what they were offered. Time will tell. But let's look at it differently. Do you think Arafat wants to control Hamas? Do you think he wants Hamas controlled by someone? Do you think he wanted the scum of this earth (that occupied Church on Nativity) controlled? I am sure Israel is more than willing to do it for him. He just needs to ask. The point is, Arafat, Hamas and the scum terrorizing Bethlehem are all on the same team. I think you are wrong on both scores. I think that Arafat has outlived his usefulness and is in over his head. I think his situation is analogous to a person with a high school diploma filling a job that requires a college degree. They never seem to be very comfortable. And neither is Arafat........that's why he plays the pitiful victim. I don't see him as much evil as incompetent. However, the Hamas are something different..........like I said in my post to Tim, listening to Sheik Ammin [sp?] speak was chilling. I don't think we want him in charge of the PLO. ted
