*** When did the Palestinians ever get to vote on their leader ***
January 20, 1996 was the first Palestinian general election permitted by Israel. There have been others since.
*** Yitzhak Rabin ***
Was elected. Was assasinated by an Israeli colonist for negotiating. Democracy Israel style. Maybe that's what BushCO plan to spread throughout the middle east.
Many Arabs states are undemocratic, but they have only emerged from centuries of foreign occupation after WWII. Here in the West we have a 700 year old English tradition to draw upon. I hope the Arabs reach democracy sooner than we did.
*** Israel respects minority populations ***
You're kidding, right?
