Israpundit: Eiland gets it – ‘Palestinians’ don’t want peace
On Saturday, Bush said the 2005 Road Map deadline for birthing a sovereign Palestinian state was now “unrealistic,” but indicated Qureia could speed up the process by taking charge and cracking down on anti-Jewish Islamic terror.
[IDF General] Eiland, however, said the official policies of Qureia’s boss, Arafat, and his PA included perpetuating the terrorist offensive against Israel, while engaging in “sweet talk” for international consumption.
On Saturday, US President George W. Bush urged “Palestinian” Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia to “show leadership against [the] terrorists” if he wants to see the birth of a sovereign Palestinian state anytime soon.
But Eiland told his hosts in Washington that one of the primary policies of Arafat and his Palestinian Authority was to maintain Islamic terrorism against the Jews.
