Reply #15: The Palestinians can choose whoever they want [View All]

to represent them.

Barghouti may be better than Hamas (there's an understatement), but speaking in untruths and hyperboles doesn't help his people.

The Palestinians are in dire need of a leader who will recognize the facts (that Israel is here to stay, and isn't going to be annihilated as Hamas wishes).

Their suffering is in the here and now, but in no small part due to their crappy leadership.

Had they a leader who would actually forego violence and terrorism (including the blowing up of their own food and fuel trucks), the suffering of the Palestinians would be relieved, because the siege would be lifted.

Place the blame on the leadership, for causing at least a good part of the suffering of the civilians.
