<< Let's not forget that these terrorist groups wouldn't exist if it weren't, in part, for the support they receive from families who rely upon them for protection.. >> Somewhat true. But....... the Palestinians are living in crushing poverty, especially those in Gaza. Before the Intafada, many Gaza Palestinians had good jobs in Israel. In fact, before the Intafada, the Palestinians, as a whole, had a better standard of living than their counterparts in other Arab nations. Many Palestinians have to remember that things were much better before the Intafada, and that they almost had the beginings of their own state. The offer was on the table. The question: Do the terrorist groups want peace with Israel, or Israel's extermination? The other question: Do the terrorist groups want peace with America, or America's extermination?
