Heck, poor Eichmann, whom we equally guilty Jews executed, didn't have blood on his hands either, according to Saridian ethics.<BR/><BR/>But buried deeper in Sarid's article is a subtler yet far more dangerous statement, to wit:<BR/><BR/>"Chaotic Palestinian politics is also divided into two main camps...The moderate camp recognizes Israel and is willing to accepts its existence, and the radical-extremist camp, which considers Israel a foreign element that must be uprooted."<BR/><BR/>The neo-messianic belief that mainstream Fatah has actually accepted that Israel should not be uprooted is in no small way responsible for the ongoing Israeli government's penchant for misjudging how Fatah will act.<BR/><BR/>Put more succinctly, the radical Left is clueless because its premises contradict reality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
