Palestinian Authority not really moderate

Posted May 29, 2011 5:00 am

This is in response to Richard Cohen’s Op-Ed piece of May 25. A few things. 1) Just because The Palestinian Authority has temporarily slowed its terrorist activities does not make it moderate. The PA just entered into an agreement with Hamas. Hamas wants the destruction of Israel. Is the PA still moderate?

2) Terrorism has only appeared to disappear in Judea and Samaria because of the work of the IDF with the PA. Once the IDF leaves a newly formed Palestinian state, will terrorism reappear?

3) How are you able to determine Israel’s security needs? Shouldn’t that be left up to Israel? Maybe a move to Sderot by you and your family will give you a better understanding of the Israel’s security needs.

Why won’t the PA sit down and talk with Israel? Can you please show me in Arabic where the PA renounces terrorism, accepts Israel right to exist as a democratic and Jewish state and where they will abide by all future agreements?
