| [Al Jazeera] On October 30, as I was scrolling through news updates from Paleostine, I received a phone call from a friend. "It's that time of the year," she said through thunderous laughter, "when our self-proclaimed leadership decides to play peek-a-boo and threaten to end security coordination with Israel." The Paleostinian Central Council (PCC) had announced that it authorised the Paleostine Liberation Organization (PLO) to suspend recognition of Israel and stop security coordination with Tel Aviv. It argued that the suspensions should remain in place until Israel recognises the Paleostinian state based on pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital. We both laughed, but more at the tragedy of the situation than anything else. The PCC made the same announcement in 2015. The repetition was indeed tragic, and telling of the nature of these efforts - that they are mere considerations, nothing more than laughable scarecrow tactics. |

| #2 The author has an unearned sense of power and importance for Paleos in the perceived Joooo fear. 16-year-old Ahed Tamimi needs a rifle butt to the face and a boot on the neck to realize that the only thing stopping it from being a deserved daily beating is the patience and humanity of the IDF. |

| #1 In Wars somebody wins and somebody loses. That WHY they call them Wars. If it get to War, those are the inevitable rules. Somebody wins and somebody loses. Th knives come out and thats the way it gets played. No right and wrong, just somebody goes in the ditch and somebody finishes him off. You stick him till he quits moving. Better the Palestinians than the Israelis . Somebody has to win. There is no "nice" way to kill somebody. Better him than you. Make sure he's dead. The only solution is make sure you get the job done and walk away whole yourself. Make up your mind. There is only one way this all can end. |
