This is very stupid tactics by Palestinians. They are giving Israel help, in convincing the U.S. there is no difference between "global terrorism" and Hamas. They are convincing the U.S. to fully back a 100% military "solution" to the Intidada.

Oh yes, it's of a piece with Arafat's idiocy in openly backing Saddam last time. At least he learned not to do that again. But taking Saddam's dough is just as bad.

Face it, Jacob. The Palestinians are political morons. They always go for "feel good" politics among themselves, in the Arab world and with the Europeans. They don't do the necessary but "feel bad" compromises that will actually get them a state with the Israelis or the US.

If the Palestinians didn't have the great good fortune of having the Jews for their enemy, they would have been crushed and forgotten long ago.

No word from Arafat this time around, that I've read. Seems like ONE Palestinian learned his lesson...
