#1 "Abu Ala" wants a guarantee? Fine.

I guarantee that ol' fat & greasy will screw him over just like his predecessor for as long as the game will play, then stab him in the back "for the good of the state" or some such fatuous drivel.

He'll need to be precise when he finally shoves the knife in, though - he wouldn't want to stab his own hand...

#2 "unless Israel changes its attitude toward Yasser Arafat"
I once stepped on dog shit in the park and was pretty pissed about it. Arafat is like stepping in dog shit, you can never change your attitude about it.

...did an AP reporter actually blame Hamas for the collapse of the truce?
He still managed to finger Israel though: But some attacks continued, as did Israeli arrests of militants. You could tell he was searching for something bad to say against the Israelis, and all he could come up with was 'arresting militants'.

#3 The parliament speaker, who won respect in Israel and abroad for his role in peace negotiations a decade ago

That would be Oslo, right?

Why would anyone involved in that travesty be respected anymore?
