No Peace
 

     The idiots of the world keep trying to impose an unwanted peace between the “Palestinians” and Israel. This peace has been accepted many times in principle by Israel but has always been rejected by the “Palestinians”, the Arab nations of the Middle East and North Africa, and by much of the Islamic world. To those who continue to believe that this unachievable peace settlement is possible and can be imposed upon Israel and the “Palestinians”, I give you the following statements from various “Palestinian”, Arab, Muslim and other sources. After reading these quotes, please answer the following question: “How do you make peace with someone who doesn’t want peace?
