1. "PALESTINE" TOUCHES BOTTOM=20
By BRET STEPHENS - Jerusalem Post - January 16, 2003=20
You know you've hit rock bottom when even your fellow suicide =
bombers think you lack class.
In Sri Lanka, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (Eelam means =
"precious land") have been blowing themselves up with evident glee for =
years now. "They go in sea and on land in black robes," one Tamil orphan =
tells Amy Waldman of The New York Times. "They will go and jam =
themselves against anything!"
And jam they have: against the Indian prime minister Rajiv Gandhi =
in 1991, against Sri Lankan president Ranasighe Premadasa in 1993, and =
against his successor, Chandrika Kumaratunga, in 1999. They have =
attacked military installations, Buddhist holy shrines, and Sri Lanka's =
own World Trade Center - over 170 suicide attacks in all. They have =
assassinated fellow Tamils who take a moderate line. In the style of =
their Maoist leader, Velupillai Prabhakaran, they go about with cyanide =
capsules hanging from their necks, lest they be captured alive. Large =
billboards in LTTE-controlled territory show women "fighters" just what =
to do if surrounded by Sri Lankan soldiers: play dead, then blow =
yourself up as the enemy approaches. Their war of liberation has left =
60,000 Sri Lankans dead, Sinhalese and Tamils alike.
"Of all the suicide-capable terrorist groups we have studied, they =
are the most ruthless, the most disciplined," says Rohan Gunaratna of =
St. Andrews University in Scotland.
But please, don't for a second think ill of them. Tamil suicide =
bombers, says an LTTE political leader, don't "kill themselves." They =
"give themselves." They operate not out of despair, but from "a deep =
humanitarianism... a love of others," adds female suicide-squad leader =
Thamilini.=20
"In Palestine," she adds, "it is quite different."=20
ACTUALLY, it isn't.=20
Conventional wisdom is famously idiotic, and never more so when it =
comes to the matter of "root causes." As in "poverty is the root cause =
of crime." Or, "fear of 'the other' is the root cause of war." Or, =
"despair is the root cause of terrorism." If all these were true, crime =
would have peaked during the Great Depression, Switzerland would be =
Bosnia, and sub-Saharan Africa, not the Middle East, would be the pivot =
of world evil.=20
Yet the idea that Palestinian desperation gave birth to suicide =
bombers, or that swelling Palestinian frustrations explain their =
actions, persists. "The greatest threat to the world is not Saddam =
Hussein but the despair felt by frustrated people given no hope," goes a =
recent article caption in The Independent, in a line that more or less =
captures the current state of idiot-think.
Still, it would be nice if, alongside these earnest efforts to =
shift the blame for Islamic terror to Western (particularly Israeli) =
shoulders, someone would actually supply evidence that most terrorists =
are operating out of anything other than personal conviction. "Making =
the [martyr's] video," says Hamas spokesman Ismail Abu Shanab, "gets the =
message out that these people are martyrs of their own free will." Nor =
do the biographical profiles of suicide bombers suggest people at the =
end of their rope.=20
As Time magazine points out, today's typical suicide bomber "is =
Izzadin Masri, the 23-year-old son of a prosperous restaurant owner... =
[or] Ayat Akhras, 18, a straight-A student, just months away from =
graduation and then a marriage." Despair? This isn't even ennui.
What it is, rather, is some combination of religious belief, =
social faddishness and cultural mystique, the absence of any =
countervailing cultural institutions, and a political leadership that =
not only does nothing to resist the trend, but paves the way toward it.=20
"This child who is grasping the stone, facing the tank, is it =
not the greatest message to the world when that hero becomes a shahid?"
asked Yasser Arafat in an interview on Palestinian TV last year. =
"We are proud of them."=20
Hearing Arafat speak this way of the 12-year-olds so eager for =
their prepubescent ascent to heaven, one can't help recall scenes from =
Hitler's last days, when he reviewed his equally youthful troops on the =
eve of the battle for Berlin. We are proud of them. And watching scenes =
of Palestinians celebrating wildly in the streets following every =
successful "military operation" also calls to mind Hitler's willing =
executioners, toasting one another in banquet halls with beer and =
champagne at the conclusion of a long day of butchery. Good work, boys! =
Better rest up for tomorrow.=20
In other words, the Palestinians employ their peculiar sort of =
violence because they believe not just in its efficacy as a means toward =
an end, but in its goodness as an end in itself. "How sweet is shahada =
when I embrace you, oh my land!" goes a film clip aired on PA TV. As =
with the Tamil Tigers, this is the Palestinian version of "deep =
humanitarianism."=20
ONLY it's worse.=20
According to Thamilini, the Tigers' "target is not the common =
people, but the army." This isn't really true; when the Tigers bombed =
Sri Lanka's central bank in 1996, they killed almost 100 people. But =
what's significant is that Thamilini at least attempts to draw the =
distinction: not all the Sinhalese are fair game for the Tamils; there =
are good enemies and bad ones.=20
Not so for Palestinian terrorists, for whom all Israelis are =
"occupiers," no matter whether they're soldiers or civilians, or whether =
they live in Hebron or Tel Aviv. As historian Michael Oren points out, =
Palestinians have outdone even the Nazis in their glorification of =
murder. The Nazis, he notes, "never publicly lionized [the =
Einsatzgruppen], never plastered their pictures on the streets or openly =
encouraged children to emulate. That kind of adoration for mass =
murderers can only be found, in abundance, among the Palestinians."=20
The same point can be made about Stalin, Mao and the other great =
killers of the 20th century, who were fairly sedulous when it came to =
burying their victims and whose crimes only really came to light long =
after their deaths. Indeed, as far as I know, only Khieu Samphan, among =
recent mass murderers, was willing to admit that the Khmer Rouge had =
killed a million "war criminals" in Year One of their short-lived reign. =
Most people, even pathological tyrants, have more of a sense of shame. =
Not, however, the Palestinians.=20
How did it come to such a pass? A few years ago, former US senator =
Daniel Patrick Moynihan coined the phrase "defining deviancy down." He =
was talking about cultural and social norms, the ways in which what one =
generation views as social deviancy becomes acceptable to, even =
celebrated by, the next generation, leading to a general and inexorable =
lowering of standards all round.=20
The same could be said about Palestinians. A decade ago, following =
the first Palestinian suicide attack, only 20 percent of Palestinians =
said they approved of it. Today, the numbers are reversed: 80% approve =
of suicide bombings, both within the Green Line and without. According =
to conventional wisdom, the reason for the shift is the ongoing =
occupation. More plausibly, it's the experience of living under Arafat =
and all that comes with it: the destruction of the Palestinian =
bourgeoisie, the celebration of violence, the curriculum of hate. Then =
too, the international support Palestinian actions have received in the =
form of high-minded efforts to understand the terrorism, to explain it, =
has only given terror the stamp of universal acquiescence, if not actual =
approval. Palestinians have taken note.=20
I AM often asked whether I favor an independent Palestinian state. =
I wish someone would ask me instead whether I favor an independent =
German one. I favor an independent Germany, of course, but not if it's =
going to be the Third Reich. I favor an independent Japan, but not the =
Japan of Tojo. I might even favor the independent state of Tamil Eelam, =
but not under a psychopath like Prabhakaran. In each of these instances, =
I'd sooner have a benign colonial occupation than a nasty native =
dictatorship. And the same goes for the Palestinians.=20
Today, the international community is having trouble accepting the =
fact that the problem with Palestinian statehood has nothing to do with =
its borders, much less with the size of its army or the rights it has to =
its airspace, its water resources, and so on. It has nothing to do with =
what Israel does or does not do in its military or diplomatic efforts. =
The problem, rather, is the nature of the state itself, and principally =
its moral nature. Is it a respecter of the rights of its citizens? Or of =
the rights of its neighbors?=20
In the Declaration of Independence, America's founders did more =
than insist on their inalienable right to self-determination. They also =
showed they knew what self-determination was for, and, in so doing, that =
they deserved to have it. Israelis, too, have shown that they deserve =
the state they fought for and were given. By contrast, Palestinians =
continue to demonstrate, in word, deed and above all in attitude that =
they have no similar understanding. Until they do so, until they emerge =
from the moral swamp in which they have put themselves, they ought to =
remain - along with countless other peoples - stateless.=20

2. WHAT IF?=20
by by Avi Davis - January 17, 2003 - IsraelNationalNews.com=20
The date is May 25, 2020. Along the Israel/Palestine border, =
established by the Crawford Treaty of September 2001, Israeli =
intelligence reports alarming developments. Border incursions by =
terrorists in Israeli urban areas have increased - almost three a day =
for several weeks. Simultaneously, Jordanian and Egyptian troops, who =
had been conducting training exercises with Palestinian border police, =
have taken up positions facing IDF positions in Kalkilya and Tulkaram, =
geographical points at which Israel is, at places, only thirteen miles =
wide. The Mossad reports that Russian made Samet satellite-guided =
missiles, known to have been smuggled into Palestine in small sections =
over many years and secretly assembled underground, have been placed on =
some of the Samarian mountaintops east of Tel Aviv and Netanya. These =
are positions where the Israeli townships of Kedumim and Alfei Menashe =
once stood.=20
Israeli prime minister, 72- year- old Yossi Beilin, lodges a =
formal protest with the United Nations Secretary-General, Terje Larsen. =
He demands that the multi-national peace-keeping force, who maintain a =
buffer zone between the two states, move immediately to confront the =
belligerence on Israel's border. The Secretary-General posts a weak =
reprimand to the Government of Palestine, but otherwise does nothing. =
Palestinian president Marwan Barghouti claims that the continued Israeli =
refusal to repatriate millions of descendants of refugees from the 1948 =
war has led to a disquiet that he can no longer contain.=20
Before the United Nations Security Council has a chance to =
convene, deadly suicide attacks at several Israeli air-force bases and =
many early warning stations on the Golan Heights and the Jordan Valley =
succeed in temporarily disabling effective air surveillance. Attacks on =
eight secret Israeli anti-ballistic missile sites follow. Within hours =
of these attacks, a massive missile barrage descends on Israel's coastal =
towns. Hundreds of Israelis die and thousands are injured. Syrian and =
Iraqi jets, taking advantage of the temporary impotence of the Israeli =
air force, cross into Israeli airspace and pound IDF tank battalions =
stationed at the Kalkilya salient. Beilin, claiming Israel's right of =
self-defense, gives the go-ahead for the IDF to advance into sovereign =
Palestinian territory, striking at the missile launching pads.=20
However, as word of the invasion rockets around the world, the =
European Union, who in 2015 had guaranteed Palestinian territorial =
integrity, moves its 9th Fleet, the world's largest, ten miles off =
Israeli shores. A warning is issued to Beilin that unless Israel =
withdraws its troops within 24 hours, and agrees to mediation, the =
European fleet will begin its own barrage of Israeli coastal targets.=20
Yes, it is a nightmare and it was spun to life by some fascinating =
reading. Having recently completed both volumes I and II of What If?, =
the two works of counterfactual history edited by historian Roger =
Cowley, I thought it just as interesting to pose a question that has =
already stirred some historical interest: What if Yasser Arafat had =
accepted Ehud Barak's offer of peace and sovereignty at Camp David in =
the summer of 2000? What if, at a ceremony conducted at George Bush's =
Crawford Ranch, in September of 2001, Israel had agreed to evacuate =
dozens of Israeli settlements, given Arafat the right to establish East =
Jerusalem as the capital of a Palestine, surrendered the Jordan Valley =
and agreed to the creation of a demilitarized Palestinian state?=20
That Arafat flubbed one of the greatest opportunities the =
Palestinians will ever have of establishing a state of their own will be =
unquestioned by future historians. But what the revanchist elements =
among the Palestinians will also certainly come to recognize, even more =
painfully, is that their last great opportunity to eliminate Israel =
altogether is gone forever. Had Arafat agreed to the Camp David =
proposals, it is conceivable that with the protection offered by the =
vital Samarian mountaintops, a State of Palestine, biding its time and =
marshaling both intelligence and armaments (while building a military =
alliance with an increasingly anti-Semitic Europe), could have delivered =
a devastating blow to Israel in the coming decades.=20
Conjecture perhaps, but not so fantastical. There is some reason =
to believe that Ehud Barak, though he had lost his parliamentary =
majority even before he went to Camp David, could have dragged the =
country behind him into an affirmative referendum on a final peace =
treaty in September 2000. The European element can also not be =
understated. Over the next twenty years, Israel could well become the =
battleground - ideological and otherwise - of a new struggle between a =
leftist, authoritarian Europe and the more liberal, enlightened =
democracies.=20
In the summer of 2000, the Israelis were ready for peace. But =
after the Palestinians resorted to violence - sacking ancient Jewish =
shrines, lynching soldiers and letting loose suicide bombers - all bets =
were off. Thereafter, Israelis were highly unlikely to entrust their =
safety and security to a handful of promises from Palestinian thugs, who =
demonstrate as much interest in a permanent peaceful accommodation as =
Adolf Hitler did following Munich. Even Time magazine now reports that =
what used to be a minority view - the conviction that Israel is =
surrounded by enemies vowed to cause its extinction - is now mainstream =
thinking.=20
So the window was opened and then jammed shut in a very short =
space of time. Never again are the Palestinians likely to find Israelis =
in such a compromising mood. For the next ten years, now fully cognizant =
of the perils of Palestinian rejectionism, the Israeli people are likely =
to choose conservative governments to lead them. And with every year, =
the idea of a State of Palestine will shrink. Settlements will grow, the =
United States and the West will become less beholden to Arab oil wealth =
and the hardliners among the Palestinians, increasingly unable to grasp =
reality, will come to dominate Palestinian interests.=20
For a few days in July 2000, then, Yasser Arafat rolled dice with =
history and lost. His and Palestinian prospects now belong to the =
netherworld of the counter-factual. There, he will one day brood with =
the other also-rans of history, spending the rest of eternity pondering =
and regretting what could have been.=20

4. LEARNING BY THE GUN=20
by Paula R. Stern - Arutz Sheva - January 16, 2003=20
S Some people write because they feel a need to express themselves =
for others. Others write because they need to work through inner =
feelings that otherwise would continue to plague them. I=92m in this =
latter group. I write because the need to release the words overwhelms =
me. With each keystroke, the words, expressions of anger and sadness, =
frustration and pain, or even great joy and pride, all become crystal =
clear. Suddenly, what had so impacted on my life moments before, will =
gain perspective and enable me to deal with whatever emotions I=92m =
experiencing.=20
Somewhere in the process of writing, you have to assign a title to =
your work. Usually, the title is a summary of what you have written, a =
catchy way to grab people=92s eye and make them want to read. For me, =
the title comes near the end and sometimes not at all. I=92ve written =
articles and sent them to newspapers and online magazines with the =
request that the editor help me label the piece. I=92ve even come up =
with the stupidest title of all, =93No, Never. Yes, Always. =94 and was =
shocked when three different editors used it. I guess, like me, they =
couldn=92t come up with anything better to describe our conflicting =
feelings about wanting to live in Israel always and yet never wanting =
our children to experience some of the daily occurrences here.=20
So, this morning, as I often do when I=92m driving children to =
school, planning my day and thinking about work, I thought over a =
conversation I=92d just had with my 15 year old. And, like they often =
do, the words began forming themselves into an article. This time, =
perhaps for the first time, the title popped into my head before the =
words. =93Learning by the Gun.=94=20
No, this wasn=92t to be an article about those who live by the =
gun, and therefore are predicted to die by it. Nor was it to be an =
article for or against gun control. As I drove through my morning ritual =
of taking two children to school, stopping at the market and checking =
the mail, I thought about the scene my oldest son had described before =
shuffling off to bed this morning.=20
He=92d been up all night, and the words came quickly. What amazed =
me was his acceptance of the situation that to me, with the lingering =
remnants of my American upbringing still intact, sounded surrealistic =
and foreign. Like all schools in Israel that have over a certain amount =
of students, my son=92s high school hires a full time guard, who =
inspects each person seeking entrance. From early in the morning, until =
the last student leaves in the late afternoon hours, the guard sits at =
his post, watches the street and the children who play and learn within =
the fenced schoolyard.=20
Last night, at a special all-night learning session, the guard =
wasn=92t there. The boys met at the school at 10:00 p.m. with their =
teachers to study. This is a Jewish tradition that encourages learning =
around the clock, throughout the week and months, unconnected to the =
normal time schedules we impose on ourselves. These special events are a =
way of teaching our sons to make a commitment that is not limited to a =
few hours a day. We are teaching them that our religion and our laws are =
an integral part of the Jew that they will one day become. My son =
started describing the night=92s events to me, including the 1:00 a.m. =
barbeque, by explaining that there was no guard. That, of course, got my =
attention. Then he explained, =93so you know who guarded us?=94=20
One teacher sat with an M-16 all night, hand by the trigger, as he =
taught. Another also had a gun, though I don=92t remember the type. The =
school is located on the northern edge of Jerusalem and even from afar, =
the lit building could be a magnet to attract a terrorist hoping to find =
a vulnerable target. I can picture the large room, full of tables and =
boys and books, and two men who were fathers and teachers and sometimes =
soldiers in the reserves, charged with teaching my son the facts of =
Jewish law, and the realities of Israeli life.=20
So, there you have it. Last night, on a quiet Jerusalem winter =
evening, my son learned by the gun.=20

6. HIGHLIGHT ARTICLES=20
a.. Immature But many peoples have pursued statehood in modern =
history, and only the Palestinians have pursued it so barbarically. =
Terrorism, truth be told, is about the sum total of what the =
Palestinians have bestowed on our civilization during the last five =
decades.=20
b.. Between the Religious Right and the Unreligious Left It is =
already a well-known fact that the only group almost no one objects to =
ridiculing relentlessly in this country is evangelical Christians... =
Like revisionists who rewrite history to deny the Holocaust, liberals =
have constructed a mythological house of horrors around the religious =
Right.=20
c.. A Sermon for the West =93The clash between us and them is =
not a military clash. Oh, no. It is a cultural one, a religious one. And =
our military victories do not solve the offensive of Islamic terrorism. =
On the contrary, they encourage it. They exacerbate it, they multiply =
it. The worst is still to come.=94=20
d.. The Hateful Legacy of the British Foreign Office Tony =
Blair's and Jack Straw's latest charm offensive in the Arab world has =
many observers perplexed. After-all, the unbecoming respect offered =
visiting despot Bashar al-Asad, the decision to host Palestinian =
negotiators in London, the cold shoulder given Israeli diplomats, and =
the refusal of Britain to export ejector seats for the Phantom jet, has =
unsurprisingly inspired conjecture that Britain is rapidly slipping into =
Europe's anti-Semitic orbit.=20

<P>In Sri Lanka, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (Eelam means =
"precious land") have been blowing themselves up with evident glee =
for=20
years now. "They go in sea and on land in black robes," one Tamil =
orphan=20
tells Amy Waldman of The New York Times. "They will go and jam =

<P>And jam they have: against the Indian prime minister Rajiv =

1991, against Sri Lankan president Ranasighe Premadasa in 1993, =

against his successor, Chandrika Kumaratunga, in 1999. They have =

military installations, Buddhist holy shrines, and Sri Lanka's own =
World=20

assassinated=20
fellow Tamils who take a moderate line. In the style of their =

hanging from their necks, lest they be captured alive. Large =

surrounded by Sri Lankan soldiers: play dead, then blow yourself =

dead, Sinhalese and Tamils alike.
<P>"Of all the suicide-capable terrorist groups we have studied, =

<P>But please, don't for a second think ill of them. Tamil suicide =

They=20
"give themselves." They operate not out of despair, but from "a =
deep=20
humanitarianism... a love of others," adds female suicide-squad =
leader=20
Thamilini.=20
<P>"In Palestine," she adds, "it is quite different."=20
<P><B>ACTUALLY, it isn't.</B>=20
<P>Conventional wisdom is famously idiotic, and never more so when =
it=20
comes to the matter of "root causes." As in "poverty is the root =
cause of=20
crime." Or, "fear of 'the other' is the root cause of war." Or, =
"despair=20
is the root cause of terrorism." If all these were true, crime =
would have=20
peaked during the Great Depression, Switzerland would be Bosnia, =
and=20
sub-Saharan Africa, not the Middle East, would be the pivot of =
world evil.=20
<P>Yet the idea that Palestinian desperation gave birth to suicide =
bombers, or that swelling Palestinian frustrations explain their =
actions,=20
persists. "The greatest threat to the world is not Saddam Hussein =
but the=20
despair felt by frustrated people given no hope," goes a recent =
article=20
caption in The Independent, in a line that more or less captures =
the=20
current state of idiot-think.
<P>Still, it would be nice if, alongside these earnest efforts to =
shift=20
the blame for Islamic terror to Western (particularly Israeli) =
shoulders,=20
someone would actually supply evidence that most terrorists are =
operating=20
out of anything other than personal conviction. "Making the =

out that=20
these people are martyrs of their own free will." Nor do the =

<P>As Time magazine points out, today's typical suicide bomber "is =

Masri, the 23-year-old son of a prosperous restaurant owner... =
[or] Ayat=20
Akhras, 18, a straight-A student, just months away from graduation =
and=20
then a marriage." Despair? This isn't even ennui.
<P>What it is, rather, is some combination of religious belief, =
social=20
faddishness and cultural mystique, the absence of any =
countervailing=20
cultural institutions, and a political leadership that not only =
does=20
nothing to resist the trend, but paves the way toward it.=20
<BLOCKQUOTE><I>"This child who is grasping the stone, facing the =

is it not the greatest message to the world when that hero =
becomes a=20
shahid?"</I></BLOCKQUOTE>asked Yasser Arafat in an interview on=20
Palestinian TV last year. <I>"We are proud of them." </I>
<P>Hearing Arafat speak this way of the 12-year-olds so eager for =
their=20
prepubescent ascent to heaven, one can't help recall scenes from =
Hitler's=20
last days, when he reviewed his equally youthful troops on the eve =
of the=20

executioners,=20
toasting one another in banquet halls with beer and champagne at =
the=20
conclusion of a long day of butchery. Good work, boys! Better rest =
up for=20
tomorrow.=20
<P>In other words, the Palestinians employ their peculiar sort of =
violence=20
because they believe not just in its efficacy as a means toward an =
end,=20
but in its goodness as an end in itself. "How sweet is shahada =
when I=20
embrace you, oh my land!" goes a film clip aired on PA TV. As with =
the=20
Tamil Tigers, this is the Palestinian version of "deep =
humanitarianism."=20
<P><B>ONLY it's worse.</B>=20
<P>According to Thamilini, the Tigers' "target is not the common =
people,=20
but the army." This isn't really true; when the Tigers bombed Sri =
Lanka's=20
central bank in 1996, they killed almost 100 people. But what's=20
significant is that Thamilini at least attempts to draw the =
distinction:=20
not all the Sinhalese are fair game for the Tamils; there are good =
enemies=20
and bad ones.=20
<P>Not so for Palestinian terrorists, for whom all Israelis are=20
"occupiers," no matter whether they're soldiers or civilians, or =
whether=20
they live in Hebron or Tel Aviv. As historian Michael Oren points =
out,=20
Palestinians have outdone even the Nazis in their glorification of =
murder.=20
The Nazis, he notes, "never publicly lionized [the =
Einsatzgruppen], never=20
plastered their pictures on the streets or openly encouraged =
children to=20
emulate. That kind of adoration for mass murderers can only be =
found, in=20
abundance, among the Palestinians."=20
<P>The same point can be made about Stalin, Mao and the other =
great=20
killers of the 20th century, who were fairly sedulous when it came =
to=20
burying their victims and whose crimes only really came to light =
long=20
after their deaths. Indeed, as far as I know, only Khieu Samphan, =
among=20
recent mass murderers, was willing to admit that the Khmer Rouge =
had=20
killed a million "war criminals" in Year One of their short-lived =
reign.=20
Most people, even pathological tyrants, have more of a sense of =
shame.=20
Not, however, the Palestinians.=20
<P>How did it come to such a pass? A few years ago, former US =
senator=20
Daniel Patrick Moynihan coined the phrase "defining deviancy =
down." He was=20
talking about cultural and social norms, the ways in which what =
one=20
generation views as social deviancy becomes acceptable to, even =
celebrated=20
by, the next generation, leading to a general and inexorable =
lowering of=20
standards all round.=20
<P>The same could be said about Palestinians. A decade ago, =
following the=20
first Palestinian suicide attack, only 20 percent of Palestinians =
said=20
they approved of it. Today, the numbers are reversed: 80% approve =
of=20
suicide bombings, both within the Green Line and without. =
According to=20
conventional wisdom, the reason for the shift is the ongoing =
occupation.=20
More plausibly, it's the experience of living under Arafat and all =
that=20
comes with it: the destruction of the Palestinian bourgeoisie, the =
celebration of violence, the curriculum of hate. Then too, the=20
international support Palestinian actions have received in the =
form of=20
high-minded efforts to understand the terrorism, to explain it, =
has only=20
given terror the stamp of universal acquiescence, if not actual =
approval.=20
Palestinians have taken note.=20
<P>I AM often asked whether I favor an independent Palestinian =
state. I=20
wish someone would ask me instead whether I favor an independent =
German=20
one. I favor an independent Germany, of course, but not if it's =
going to=20
be the Third Reich. I favor an independent Japan, but not the =
Japan of=20
Tojo. I might even favor the independent state of Tamil Eelam, but =
not=20
under a psychopath like Prabhakaran. In each of these instances, =
I'd=20
sooner have a benign colonial occupation than a nasty native =
dictatorship.=20
And the same goes for the Palestinians.=20
<P>Today, the international community is having trouble accepting =
the fact=20
that the problem with Palestinian statehood has nothing to do with =
its=20
borders, much less with the size of its army or the rights it has =
to its=20
airspace, its water resources, and so on. It has nothing to do =
with what=20
Israel does or does not do in its military or diplomatic efforts. =
The=20
problem, rather, is the nature of the state itself, and =
principally its=20
moral nature. Is it a respecter of the rights of its citizens? Or =
of the=20

<P>In the Declaration of Independence, America's founders did more =

they knew what self-determination was for, and, in so doing, that =
they=20

the state=20
they fought for and were given. By contrast, Palestinians continue =
to=20

similar understanding. Until they do so, until they emerge from =
