Natan Sharansky, a former Israeli Deputy Prime Minister and inspiration for George W. Bush’s “freedom agenda”, writes:
Peace can be found only when Palestinians are given the freedom to build real civic institutions, and a leadership can emerge unafraid of telling its own citizens that violence, fanaticism and martyrdom aren’t the Palestinian way. But this can happen only once the malignancy of terror is removed from their midst. As ugly as it sounds, it is the only source of hope for Gaza.
Yes, the Palestinians should not be allowed to vote for the party they want [ie. Hamas], and if they do, the group should be destroyed…to make the Israelis happy.
And Zionists wonder why so many people treat them with contempt.
