Palestinian "Peace" Round-Up
I'm sure this truce will hold. Don't they always?
Fatah has managed to retain control of the West Bank -- for now -- so the extreme extremists hold Gaza and the mainstream extremists hold the West Bank. Israel should be delighted that it now has two -- count 'em, two! -- "partners in peace," so really, it has double the peace it used to.
Allah's post focuses on what-happens-now, assuming Fatah and Hamas just don't start murdering each other again, which, personally, I don't assume. There's a debate as to whether the "Palestinian state" should incorporate with Jordan, but I can't imagine Jordan wants that headache.
The Palestinians' offer -- "Please govern us so that we're not constantly butchering and murdering!" -- isn't really all that appetizing.
