You know how I always complain (well, perhaps not online) about how the the Palestinian élite do nothing but whine about how mean the Israelis are, and how powerless they are, but how they never actually do anything? Well this man is my new favourite person. Ignore those bloody settlers, ignore the wall, ignore the roadblocks, forget those outrageous claims to sovereignty over all the land between the Meditteranean and the Jordan, forget all that anti-semitic blather, and just build a state. The Israelis can hardly claim you're not ready for statehood if you have an organised police force, education system, economy, infrastructure, etc., if you don't plan to unilaterally claim statehood, and most importantly if you reject all forms of violence. Against that, those crazy religious settlers will look like what they are: crazy religious fundamentalists, and you will get your state! If crazy settlers want to live in 'Judea and Samaria' then they can live in your state. And if Arabs want to live in Jaffa, they can live in the Jewish state, just as Arabs live in the Norwegian state without feeling a need for murder.
Is it any surprise that Hamas and Fatah don't support this guy? They both benefit from the occupation. Without it, Hamas would even be bereft of any raison d'être other than the total annihilation of the Jews, which even the the Liberal Democrats can't support.
Anyone reckon I'm approaching this wrong?

Cool, someone who supports my diplomatically useless situation to all problems, ie: 'Just stop killing each other'
Also, loving the 'even the liberal democrats couldn't support' comment. Are you down for a postal vote? If so, do you have it?
The LibDems really annoy me, especially when it comes to anything to do with the world outside the UK.
Yup, registered, received it, and sent it off yesterday. Fingers crossed it will get there before polling day.
