Despite my strong dislike for Benjamin Netanyahu, I'm not sure he's wrong. Considering the great lengths the world "peace community" go to to cover up the Palestinian's propaganda efforts that conflate anti-Judaism with anti-Zionism and so many Arab countries in the Levant and the Magreb that are now nearly Juden-frei, why the ##### should the rest of us believe that the Palestinians REALLY want to live side by side in PEACE with not only the descendants of Jewish refugees from Europe, but the descendants of Jews driven out of ARAB countries? I think a LOT of Palestinians still harbor happy thoughts about "driving the Jews into the sea."
