The Black Republican

The area of the globe known as Palestine has been inhabited by a wide range of peoples over the course of recorded history. That one group of people has decreed themselves to Palestinians, to the exclusion of all others, is ridiculous. That these, self-styled, Palestinians have devolved into violent narcissists is not to be tolerated. Though I absolutely do not expect them to change anytime soon.

Especially when they continue to elect this sort of leadership, as they are poised to do again in January.

Abbas will not be any better to deal with than was Arafat, as is witnessed by his own words:

"Israel must pull out of all Palestinian lands occupied in 1967. We must end the occupation," Abbas told hundreds of supporters. "We cannot compromise on Jerusalem."

"We are choosing the path of peace and negotiation," Abbas added. "If there is no peace here, there will be no peace in the Middle East or the rest of the world."

Sounds like a threat to me. I am in shock, though not awed, that these culturally challenged bipeds remain committed to Middle Age values and reasoning.

Mr. Abbas, you, and your brethren, are the problem. Not until you folks recognize the equal rights all Palestinians, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, et al, to coexist in that ancient land will there be peace in the Middle East.
