>Come on.......do you really think the Palestinians are going to require the Israelis to vacate the premises? >Of course not but that's what the Israelis would like us to think. Why do you play into Israeli propaganda? Because I hear them say it!!! And it's not just Hamas... I was watching MSNBC a couple of years ago after a suicide bombing, and they were interviewing Farouk Khadoumi, who is Arafat's Foreign Minister, and he said it, in English, on an American TV station. He said that the Palestinians really want all of the land, and that "Haifa is no different than Nablus". Well, Haifa is officially part of Israel. Also, the Palestinians were fighting Israel when the West Bank and Gaza were in Arab hands -- Arafat founded the PLO in 1964... was he trying to get back the West Bank and Gaza from Israel then? So you believe because Arafat said back in 1964 that he wants Israel back, the PA won't stop until they rid Palestine of Israel? Is that correct? ted

Arafat founded the PLO in 1964... was he trying to get back the West Bank and Gaza from Israel then? In 1964, Arafat was trying to create a secular democratic country in Palestine in which Jews, Muslims, and Christians could live as equals. That is the PLO charter. After years of Israeli violence and intransigience, in 1976 the PLO conceded the racist policy of Israel and agreed to compromise by splitting the land according to UN 242. Israel has still not responded to this offer, despite the fact that it is endorsed by the entire world (except the U.S.) and is international law. Tom
