Khandro, that's behind a paywall.  Could you give us a bit of a synopsis please?

Judging from the headline of the article, 'Palestinians, PLO, Yasser Arafat, Soviets, you may not have to read it to get it's gist.

When you have a righteous cause and most of the world treats you, and it, as though you were  pariahs, you'll turn to whoever might offer support.

Hamas are now the cat's paw of the Iranian Ayatullahs because from them they got support.

// Give me a little more info on that.//  Quite ! and while your at it roadman,  explain what, on your maps, is meant by 'Historic Palestine', like, how historic is historic ?

I've posted this elsewhere but its relevant here too.

 

I don't see the point of throwing this around and discussing the rights and wrongs of history.   The Palestinians have just  cause to feel resentment - I think they've been treated abysmally - but we are where we are, Israel exists, and understandably, Israel and the Jews will fight for its survival as it must.  We are now in a situation where Islamic terrorists - and make no mistake, regardless of what they call themselves, they are all of a similar mindset  and they all hate the west with a vengeance - literally - are attacking Israel on behalf of the Palestinians.   They are holding people, including children, hostage and they are slaughtering in the most barbaric ways - and that is what should be of paramount concern to the rest of the world right now.    The hand-wringing must stop, the idealism abandoned in favour of realistic consideration of the future, of thinking clearly and rationally about what sort of world peace-loving people want and, moreover, the sort of world we are in great danger of creating. 

 

Those people championing the Palestinian cause and marching around our cities in their thousands haven't really thought about what they're supporting - but if they get their wish they'll know - and they won't like it one bit.  Contrary to their misguided notions, radical Islam recognises no friends in the west.   Mr Corbyn and Co may be their friends  but when push comes to shove, they aren't his.  They regard those supporters as no more than useful idiots - and they are.  To see people dressed in uniforms resembling those of terrorist groups parading themselves around our Cenotaph makes my blood run cold.  I seriously fear for the future.

Have you not noticed all the pro-Palestinian demos recently?
