#1 I'm about as skeptical as can be on the whole peace between Israel and Palestine issue, but I would love to be proven wrong. This is encouraging.

#2 You can only imagine what the natives' reactions are to tuning in to the gogglebox for today's anti-Joo bloodlust and brainwash, only to see Julie Andrews-style all-singing all-dancing Peace and Love(TM). What would you tell the kids, the baby-boomers?! Even if it's not sincere, it's got to be a welcome change from the usual.

#3 Are they referring to Israel, and not to "the Zionist entity"?

#4 The footage gave prominence to scenes of doves, flowers being scattered and Christian, Muslim and Jewish children and adults joining in dance sequences.

Sounds like they just broadcast a retro Coca-Cola commercial, to me. Let's test their limits by playing some of the Britney Spears Pepsi ads...

#5 Coming up next on PALI 13, "Jews Are People Too".
For the next week or so at least.

#6 apparently the new Pal info minister is pro-Abbas (and therefore non-loony) rather than pro-Arafat. Is suspect here, as in the security forces, the battle will come at the lower levels. Expect Arafat to reach directly to lower levels in Pal media to maintain incitement, and then to make a bureaucratic/political stink when the info minister tries to fire those people.

Look at the security situation. Dahlan is trying to gain control,and place some limits on terror - but arafat is setting up rajoub against him, and denying him control of much of the security forces

#7 I wonder how many people Arafathead will execute for daring to portray Jews as the decent folks that most of them are, rather than monsters to be destroyed like required.
