Palestinians get Unesco seat as 107 vote in favour

It is totally pointless argument.
According to Abu Mazen hamas is just slightly right wing party in Palestinian politics.
Judging by the amount of hamas flags waved after Shalit deal(waving hamas flags had been illegal in PA until recently due to PR)i have my doubts (and always had)what will come next when Abu Mazen is gone.
Some peacemakers say that Abu Mazen is last pragmatic leader left in PA- i wonder how this is supposed to make me feel better.
The popularity of extremists is always there but is kept under the hood to create false impression of peaceful society fighting for its rights by legit means.
It apparently works very well.

I'm absolutely certain West bank can easily become second Gaza but with small difference of nice view from the hills above of whole central Israel -just few short miles away.
Its quite enough that whole southern Israel is under daily bombardment every time some "unlawful freedom fighter" wakes up with bad mood in the morning.


That's main reason why all this political mumbo jumbo or who is right or historically wrong is totally meaningless to me besides pure historical learning value.
When Palestinians become civilised society(i know i'm generalising) ill be more than happy to have them as neighbours.

Carry on this theological discussion......
