The Jerusalem Post has a summary of the much talked-about Palestinian prisoners document that is the basis for presumed talks between Fatah and Hamas:
The 18-point document, known as the National Reconciliation Document, calls for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, and stresses the right of return for all refugees to their original homes.The document also calls for the establishment of a new body to coordinate attacks on Israelis within the 1967 borders.
In this case the devil is not even in the details. It’s right out front. This is just another hudna. Well, time to keep building that wall.
UPDATE: Haaretz recounts a Sunday Times report that PA officials now see Palestinian civil war as inevitable. Also in Haaretz, the IDF is debating whether to arm the PA. Debkafile has a hair-raising tale of a visit to Cairo by Hamas leader Siad Siam. These people live strange lives indeed.
ìWell, time to keep building that wall.î
The Jews and sensible Arabs must continue building the wall to separate themselves from the Palestinian crazies. The idiots will likely kill each other off—and only then will peace be possible. You can sign all the treaties in the world. Nonetheless, nothing good will occur until the nihilists are either killed or jail.
the final arbiter that makes all this moot:

that is what ultimately resolves this issue. abbas, hamas, who really cares. there are going to be two states as defined by israel. the only question, are the palestinians going to accept it peacefully. but make no mistake about it–there will be two states and the fence/wall will be the boundaries
If it includes this
The document also calls for the establishment of a new body to coordinate attacks on Israelis within the 1967 borders.
it’s not even a new so-called hudna. It sounds like the status quo ….
It is terribly cliche’d and oh so, so politically incorrect but…. “kill them all, let Allah sort them out”.
Wait–Palestinian civil war is inevitable? But President Bush promised us that democracy in Iraq would make the whole region more stable. Are you saying Bush lied? Or just that he was wrong?
Parker:
Palestinians have been coordinating attacks into Israel long before President Bush came into office. Your attempt to link Palestinian hate of Israel onto the Iraq conflict is lame. You may long for the days when your friend Saddam financed suicide bombers in Palestine but I am glad he is gone. He still alive, maybe if your side takes over you can put him back in control and go back to the beautiful status qou of Bathist Iraq and a non democratic middle east.
