Subject: RE: BS: suicide bomber murders 9 in Tel Aviv
While many Europeans are urging resumption of financial and political support for the new Palestinian government, the UN is (like the Israelis) insisting that the new terrorist government change it's policies first. Hamas is not changing, and is trying to raise cash from Moslem countries, as funds from Western donors continue to dry up. Israelis are fed up with the Palestinians, who cannot unite, or provide anyone reliable to negotiate with. The Palestinians are not happy with themselves, and the rest of the Moslem world is losing enthusiasm for a situation that never seems to get resolved, despite so many efforts to negotiate one. One outcome of all this is that by building a wall, the israelis may actually declare a defined border by themselves.
