Do you ever get the feeling, especially after reading something like this, that the Israel-Palestine problem could be solved immediately if we could just get rid of Hamas, the PLO, and anyone else that was ever associated with Arafat? My feeling is that 80% or more Palestinians just want to go on with their lives peacefully, in teh same manner which they did before the Second Intifada began. Get rid of the bitter and angry leadership, and everyone suddenly becomes a lot happier. And there are very few Israelis that would be upset if peace suddenly broke out. Most would celebrate their peaceful Palestinian neighbors. There is only one reason why so many Palestinians hate Israel, and vice-versa, and that reason is the legacy of Arafat.
