It is evident Isreal has not killed enough of them yet. Just as the US has many muslims yet to kill also.

Khadoumi at least is more open in public about Palestinian aspirations than Arafat No, Arafat was also quite open about the 1974 "Plan of Phases". But the deal was, he was open about it only in Arabic and the MSM never reported what he said in Arabic, only what he said in English. Just like you can count on the MSM to bury this Khaddoumi story in favor of "Abu Mazen the Moderate". Now, you see, you have two different actors playing the two faces of Arafat. Not much has changed, really. The only positive, responsible, taking-care-of-business step that the Palestinians have actually taken is the decision that there must be only one candidate on the ballot - Abu Mazen. So they will have another fake election that grants no legitimacy, and half of Palestinian Fatah and all of non-Palestinian Fatah (which is what Khaddoumi heads) are saying that they have no intention to follow Abu Mazen or stop fighting. They just want to keep Abu Mazen as the moderate figurehead who says reasonable stuff in English, so they can collect a whole new raft of benefits on the basis of his empty promises. The only game they know is Arafatism and they intend to try to keep it up even without Arafat.
