Carol, you mean 67 don't you.

Yes.

You know who want to be under Palestinian suzereignity the least? The Druze and Circassians, followed by the majority of Christians.

Are suggesting that the Christians are not Palestinians? They certainly see themselves as Palestinians. I don't know about the Druce and the Circassians. I'll have to look into that.

Which partition plan do you mean?

I'll get back to you on that.

It would be lovely to give them assistance, but a bit hard when the terrorists rule the streets.

Not really. Ending the occupation would be a good start. Allowing international observers into the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem to help with the handover of power would also help. Giving them financial assistance to help rebuild the civil infrastructure that was destroyed by the Sharon government would go a long way toward helping. Not undermining the legitimacy of the elected Palestinian leaders by requiring them to appear to their own people as appeasers and as servants of their occupiers, and by forcing them to provide security for their occupiers would go a long way toward helping the Palestinians build their country.
