Expulsion of 415 Palestinians
The Palestinian peace negotiating team’s reaction to the Israeli deportation action is just not logical. Instead, the wrongful instigations by the Hamas group resulting in wrongful behavior by the Israeli government emphasizes the need to continue moving toward a two-state solution.
Hamas constitutes a small part of the West Bank Palestinian population; yet, since the Palestinians have no government, there is no adequate procedure for them to address this aberrant minority. Nor does the continuance of the uncivilized occupation offer any solution. The crisis should persuade both sides to step up their efforts and talks--let the new order of peace begin!
