#2 No matter who or what (not always identifiable as human) leads the PA, it will never command more than 80%-85% of the population. Half of the remainder will support the terrorist groups (Al Aqsa, Hammas, Hezbollah, etc. - any of which is capable, thanks to funding from the Saudi's, Syria, Iran, and Iraq, oops, not anymore! Heh.

Er, as I was saying, any of which is capable of torpedoing any "peace process" anytime they wish. Now if the money and arms and other forms of support were cut off (Iran, Syria, and Saudi were somehow put on ice), then the "leaders" of these terror clans would rather quickly vacate the premises.

Without money to buy protection and cooperation from the locals (now accustomed to being bribed for help), the loss of social status and prestige (you just know they are feted as heros - and are addicted to it), and the sudden loss of income (which is the real driver) these cretins would finally get out of the way. Probably go to France to enjoy whatever cash they skimmed and stashed.

I would imagine that some might actually be relieved - the Israelis might forget about them if they left...not! But that's another story, eh?

The PA couldn't run a lemonade stand. They'd eat all of the lemons and steal the cashbox. I think the real fools are the morons who support them. They are stealing these clowns blind.
