"Saeb Erekat, a senior aide to Mr. Abbas and a senior Palestinian negotiator, said in an interview after the meeting that Mr. Obama seemed to be committed to helping both sides achieve a peace accord and was supportive of pursuing a two-state solution." Erekat said that about Bush, and will say that about Meir Kahane provided you can gaurantee to get his name and picture in a newspaper in the West. The Palestinian people and its cause deserve so much better. So much better.
