So they hamstring themselves with third grade name calling.I'm sure it is. I don't like much of anything about the PA and from what I understand its a puppet regime al the way. But it was put in place so that someone could sit at the negotiations table with the Israeli's. And we can all see how that worked out.
No matter how many millions you throw at corruption it does nothing to legitimize another puppet government.
On the other hand if you left the palestinians mob to its own devices it will endorse a one of the many terrorist organizations available. In which case there is no one the western powers will negotiate with; which is why the PA was run up the flag pole in the first placeIn which case there is no one the western powers will negotiate with; which is why the PA was run up the flag pole in the first place.
Indeed, they are too candy ass to negotiate with an elected government.
No
they are following a policy of refusing to negotiate with terrorists
which I happen to agree with
That is one way to chicken out of negotiations.
The term terrorist is well defined and applied in a similar manor by many governments including my own. It is general policy to not negotiate with terrorists. I agree with the policy lest those negotiations result in violence being rewarded. Its a very simple concept.
Of course it depends on if you consider it an ongoing war or not.
I tend to think of it as a war but either way the UNs failure to segregate combatants from non combatants within its aid structure and the aid camps is the primary driving force behind the continued violence
You are full of crap. The labeling of terrorist is strictly based on perspective. The Afghan Mujahedin that fought against the Russians were considered Freedom Fighters by the U.S. (although they slaughtered girls that attended Russian financed schools for girls) but were labeled terrorists when the same people and their sons fought against the U.S.
The Contras were considered freedom fighters by U.S. and terrorists by the rest of the world.
Nice bait and switch
No I will not now be led on some boondoggle argument in which I'm expected to defend the policies of the united states.
No I will not once again follow your attempts to distract from the OP topic
Yes once again you have ignored the subject which is the failure of the PA and its imminent collapse. If it survives it will be once again because of massive outside donations to prop up another corrupt puppet in the guise of a peace partner when in fact we all know that the palestinians aren't interested in peace.
