"A Palestinian state would most likely exist if Arafat hadn’t adopted terrorism as the calling card of Palestinian
aspirations."
.
"Or if he hadn’t rejected the offer of a state 17 years ago. Or if he hadn’t renounced his renunciation of terror."
.
"A Palestinian state would also most likely exist if Arafat’s successor, Mahmoud Abbas ... hadn’t rejected it again nine years ago,
.
and if Gazans hadn’t turned their territory into a terrifying model of Palestinian statehood,
.
and if the United Nations didn’t treat Hamas’ attacks on Israel as a nuisance but Israel’s self-defense as a crime against humanity."
