Improved PA Law Enforcement Capabilities? -David Horovitz
A Palestinian man had his car stolen in Ramallah.
Dutifully, he turned to the local Palestinian Authority police - whose improved law enforcement capacity has been much exalted in certain quarters of late. Police officers proceeded to attempt to negotiate a "ransom" arrangement with the thieves, under which the vehicle would be returned in exchange for an acceptable payment. Dismayed, the victim abandoned that corrupt path, and decided to go all the way to the top.
He contacted the office of PA head Mahmoud Abbas. But officials there also offered to negotiate with the thieves on a fee for the car's return, with a supplementary payment for their own involvement.
If Abbas is incapable of achieving the legitimate return of a stolen car to its rightful owner in his home city of Ramallah, why on earth would anyone consider him capable of marketing to his own people and then implementing a peace agreement with Israel?

Save Gaza by Destroying the Heart of Terror -Natan Sharansky
Terrorism is a cancer that can't be cured through "proportional" treatments. It requires invasive surgery. The longer one waits to treat it, the worse it gets, and the harsher the treatment required to defeat it.
Peace can be found only when Palestinians are given the freedom to build real civic institutions, and a leadership can emerge unafraid of telling its own citizens that violence, fanaticism and martyrdom aren't the Palestinian way. But this can happen only once the malignancy of terror is removed from their midst.
