We need to stop all funding or training of people who are not our actual allies, or who are 'partners for peace' in name only. We need to sit down and take stock: where have our decades of 'peace processes' got anyone? Which Arab group have we trained, armed, or funded without subsequent damage to our own interests?<br /><br />If Fatah prefer peace with Hamas, we need to cut them off. At some point these children need to be taught that there will be very real consequences to their actions.<br /><br />But I know that won't happen. The BBC will tell us that Fatah can moderate or mitigate the extremism of Hamas. We're already being told that Hamas are moderate relative to the Salafist thugs who murdered the pathetic Italian bigot Arrigoni.<br /><br />I have no hope that the West will be an effective ally for Israel ever again. Europe has too large and too angry a Muslim electorate, and America grows more immature and posturing every year.<br /><br />Israel needs to learn to ignore us, and look after itself any way it feels appropriate - the way the Syrian regime would.<br /><br />MichaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29459499.post-67194157400666331932011-04-29T09:12:16.175+03:002011-04-29T09:12:16.175+03:00It is impossible to predict whether or not this un...It is impossible to predict whether or not this unity government will successfully lay the foundation of Palestinian statehood. However, it is undeniable that the alliance between Hamas and Fatah reflects a significant political change.Atlanta Roofinghttp://tiny.cc/yzwq2noreply@blogger.com
