What the U.S. Can Do in Palestine

[DGS49]

A column byJohn Bolton published yesterday in the Pittsburgh Tribune Review was very critical of this Administration's efforts w/r/t the Israeli/Palestinian conflict (no surprise), but he did hint at one thing the Administration has failed to do that might actually do something constructive.

One of several "elephants in the room," is the fact that there is no person or organization right now who can speak legitimately for The Palestinians. More than just internal disagreements, the most visible "leader" is one whose term of office expired several years ago, and who has no control over (or even legitimacy in) Gaza.

If The Palestinians want to be thought of as a "nation," then they need to get their shit together, form a government that is universally recognized within the Palestinian community, and elect representatives who can speak for them. If they say "the differences are too great," find; you are not ready for statehood. Every county has dissidents but you can't pretend to be nation if you can't even resolve your own internal squabbles.

The U.S. is sending a ton of money to these organizations, as in the U.N. Don't tell me there is no leverage that could be exerted.

Rather than trying to force negotiations (which under the circumstances would have no legitimacy anyway), we could be pushing the Palestinians to get their house in order, which is do-able.

Bolton does not know about the US coup in 2007 that created this division?

More ISLAMONAZI PROPAGANDA to hide the fact hamas is seen as a terrorist organisation. Even their neighbours have promised to deal with them harshly for their ties to the muslim brotherhood.

What does name calling have to do with the facts? What I posted is true.

John Bolton is a Neocon, Qu33r, Nazi-Zionist propaganda artist. Not sure if his words are worth more than bird shit on the sidewalk.

John Bolton, is a neocon asshole, who can go to hell!

The "problem", is not the Palestinian's.

The "problem", is Israel.
