| #6 I don't like the term, "dove'. I think "bunny" would be a better term. They are prey. Their only form of defense is to run or hide from predators. As a race, their only hope for survival is to multiply in numbers greater than their losses. |

| #5 I agree with TGA and Cornilles = Avinery is NOT an active politician, and is not really part of the dovish movement in Israeli politics - and im using dovish here to mean the elements in Yachad, to the LEFT of the current Labour Party position. Yachad leaders, Yossi Sarid, Yossi Beilin, etc have NOT, afaik, expressed mourning for Arafat, nor did any attend his funeral. Beilin et al WILL be disagreeing with Sharon, and even Labour, on how far to go in making concessions to Abu Mazen and Abu Ala. But Avnery is in another category altogether. |

| #4 âThis idea that his successors will be able to go beyond what Arafat was able to concede is a terrible conclusion,â Avnery said. âThey have no deep roots within the Palestinian society and they cannot dictate anything.â That's an interesting point. Already we're seeing great resentment from some Paleos at the thought of anyone replacing Ara Rat. |
