Ummm... maybe it's because every time a group of Palestinians congregate together in public, an Israeli tank shell explodes in their midst? <vbg> On a more serious note, it's been a Palestinian mistake to employ suicide bombings against Israeli civilians to further their political cause. By simply studying and catering to western moral values, the employment of non-violent means (civil disobedience, hunger strikes, etc.) to drive the Israelis out of the occupied territories would have been far more effective. Yes, I know what you are going to say, Nadine: the Palestinians want to drive the Israelis into the sea. While it may be true there are some Arabs who may still feel this way (just as many Israelis believe in ethnic cleansing and Eretz Israel), this is not a practical reality the Palestinians can achieve, at least, not while the United States is supporting Israel unequivocally.
