it's not intellectually honest to claim that you're standing up for an oppressed group, whatever you think of that designation, and then assign representation to that group to an entity that is at war with it.

the palestinian authority is at war with it's own people and has been for almost 20 years. it does not represent the palestinian people. it is the group that is most responsible for the oppression of the palestinian people, and the entity that most needs to be ejected from the equation in order to arrive at a real solution.

if you were honest about what's in front of you, and actually concerned about what you claim you are concerned about, you would realize that and act on that.

there needs to be an election in the west bank. yesterday. that election is being postponed and has been being postponed for 16 years because the palestinian authority knows it's unpopular and will lose. it's a corrupt, fascist dictatorship. the first order of business needs to be getting rid of it, not handing it control of a state.
