TIME.com - Remember What Happened Here
Charles Krauthammer always talks bluntly about the Middle East, and his column on the Gaza crisis summarises the situation well.
One snippet that is particularly interesting is this (on the reason that rocket attacks on Israel have continued after the pull out from Gaza):
The logic for those continued attacks is to be found in the so-called phase plan adopted in 1974 by the Palestine National Council in Cairo. Realizing that they would never be able to destroy Israel in one fell swoop, the Palestinians adopted a graduated plan to wipe out Israel. First, accept any territory given to them in any part of historic Palestine. Then, use that sanctuary to wage war until Israel is destroyed.
I wonder what Palestinian supporters have to say about that.
