For example, I know a man who believes that the Republicans are ideological religious extremists who are hawkish regarding military policy, but he feels they are safer than the Democrats so he supports the Republicans holding his nose. Most of the Palestinians I've talked to feel the same way about their leadership. The realize these guys have an ideological religious extremism, they also realize that these people have a hawkish anti-Israel and anti-American military agenda... but they feel these leaders are the best option they have. But when Israel bombs a civilian neighborhood and kids are killed, their leadership makes sure it makes the television and gets the people upset in protest against Israel. It's a mess. They are going to have to work out a workable deal... the only other option is one side killing every last one of the other... and that's less acceptable than a deal in my opinion.

If you read further I said I was being sarcastic, and I was referring to Palestinians THERE, not those that left
