ANALYSIS: Experts see Arab role foggy on Palestinian rift

In other words, the US, Fatah and Israel stand alone in the face of Hamas's aggression and its desire to establish a world wide Islamic Oligarchy. There is nothing neutral about the Saudi stance or the IAF's agenda.

Quoting the first paragraph of the Mecca Agreement: 'First: to ban the shedding of Palestinian blood and to take all measures and arrangements to prevent the shedding of Palestinian blood and to stress the importance of national unity as the basis for national steadfastness and confronting the occupation and to achieve the legitimate national goals of the Palestinian people and adopt the language of dialogue as the sole basis for solving political disagreements in the Palestinian arena.'

First, there is not and never has been a nation of Palestine. Second what are the goals of Palestinian Arabs? First and foremost is the destruction of Israel. Second is a world dominated by a Theocratic Oligarchy based on Islam, or a 'World Caliphate.'

Fifteen of the nineteen terrorists that perpetrated the World Trade Center Atrocity. It is Saudi Arabia that spends even more money than Iran to spread fundamentalist Islam around the world, especially here in the US. Al Qaeda, Hamas and Hizbullah all share murderous fanaticism in common. All three claim to hate the Saudis, yet we never hear the Saudi Government speak out against this kind of madness. Not once have we heard an Islamic fundamentalist speak out against suicide bombing or teaching unreasoning hatred to children.

Does the United States have any real friends in the Middle East? Only one, Israel. Does the EU have any friends in the Middle East? Europeans may think that they do, but they will soon learn the hard way that they are as much a target of this pernicious theology as the United States and Israel are.

It's time to fish or cut bait, folks.

The real point here is that Islam is divided. It may not be politically correct to say so but it is going through the same stuff Christianity went through with Martin Luthor and the reformation.
Eventually, both sides will be able to live together and side-by-side with the rest of the non-islamic world (as Christianity learned to do). However, before then, there must be enough death and destruction to make peace more important than the ideals they are presently fighting for.
There has been very little peace in Israel/Palestine over the last 2000 years, just like there has been very little peace in Iraq over the same period of time and a few words from the US,EU or Saudi Arabia are not going to solve these situations this or any decade soon.

Jeremy King:

Israel could 'finish the fight' in about a day if it acted as do countries that are not hamstrung by the scrutiny of the so-called 'international community'. The Russians bomb Chechnya into oblivion and the U.S. runs around the globe pursuing its enemies and bombing foreign territory, but the minute Israel acts to protect itself against enemies that are just across its borders or even in its midst, the world passes another anti-Israel UN resolution. Even the bloodthirsty, fanatical Islamic supremacists of Hamas are considered 'hands-off' by the world community, such that Israel is trapped in an unnatural conflict of slow attrition.
