suicide bombers can be their heroes but at some point peace can be their objective. For example, lets say a treaty is signed and violence becomes rare. Lets further assume that things get better for Pals and they use the money they get wisely and prosper. Lets say relations get better between israelis and arabs. Even with all of this, they will continue to celebrate the terrorists who they view as freedom fighters. Arafat will get a national holiday and pals will celebrate it at the new state of the art Bethlehem Mall. I can live with that.

So they do, they just don't lay them out as "rules" in this exact form. But they follow them religiously. Go find me an example of Abbas or any other Fatah leader saying that violence is counterproductive or Jews shouldn't be killed or that suicide bombers aren't the heroes of Palestine in Arabic. Come, you've read my posts enough to know that I don't have any on the ground evidence for my views, they're just my views, based on common sense, and that's it. Come on, if these aren't really the rules, it should be easy to find counter-examples. No group of 4 million people believes that "The most militant is always right." To me, that's obvious - it's human nature. I don't need to survey 500,000 of them to convince myself of that.
