re: #147 Alouette

Palestinians are feeling increasingly alienated in the international community and we all know they are incapable of blaming themselves and their own leadership, and Hamas, the Turkish, and Iranian-Lebanese governments are kind of extending them an olive branch right now, so guess who they can very easily blame after the flotilla incident: Israel.

For a while there they actually thought the Jordanians and Egyptians would act in their interests, but both ended up signing peace treaties with Israel, so that’s out the window. Hardliner Israeli politics only makes it easier for the Palestinians to blame the Israelis. I’m not asking for unconditional Israeli acquiescence. I’m asking for pragmatism (i.e. Kadima) in place of rigid ideological boundaries (i.e. Likud).
