"They entirely missed the point that Bush II said that the US is out of it and on the sidelines with Israel unfettered untill/unless the Palestinians re-org in a democratic, non-terrorist manner."

How do you "re-org in a democratic, non-terrorist manner" with a foreign army rampaging through your country and where your civil infrastructure has been systematically destroyed by this foreign occupier? Where a foreign occupier is asking you elect someone who doesn't mind the continuing invasion? (You and I both know it can't be done.)

How do you destroy the civil infrastructure, surround and isolate the capital, and still expect the political leadership to exert control? How does that work? (Again, we know it can't. And the increased hate only increases the passions of the out-of-control factions.)

I don't think this was thought out at all. Absolutely no way the Palestinians could meet the demands. It's a bit like blowing up and burning someone's car, then saying if they will drive over to the store they can have some goodies. And if they don't, well, they didn't want the goodies, they have asked for whatever happens.

This really is a set-up to finish the ethnic cleansing. And the US is on the side of ethnic cleansing.
