There was a poll taken today in the Jerusalem Post that showed that over 70% of the Palestineans wanted Hamas (radicals) to form the basis of the new Palestinean government, instead of the PLO (moderates).

Now, in conceding that America needs to tone down its pro-Israeli rhetoric, what is to be done if the Palestineans elect a government that STILL refuses to crack down on terrorism? That still refuses Israel's basic right to existence? That insists upon the return of its pre-war refugees? That incites violence against Israeli civilians? This is the perfect, the PERFECT time for the Palestineans to show the world that they are serious about peace with Israel. It is now 'The Moment of Truth' in the history of this entire crisis, and the ball is sitting squarely in the Palestinean's court. It's their move; it's their chance to doing something positive. Who is to blame is they choose poorly?
