I no longer respond to Keith and you have just witnessed a perfect example of why.

Yes, because you get exposed as lacking knowledge, as when you claimed the invasion of Poland as an example and LH pointed out that that Hitler abandoned any pretence at democracy years earlier.

The Kaiser's Germany was no democracy either.

The Palestinian Authority/PNA/Palestinian government has never been in a state of war with Israel.
Britannica,
" The increasingly violent power struggle between ?amas and Fatah resulted in a split between the West Bank, run by Fatah through the emergency PA government, and the Gaza Strip, controlled by ?amas. Israel and other members of the international community moved to aid the West Bank, offering shows of economic and diplomatic support for Abbas and Fatah while cutting aid to the Gaza Strip."

So not at war. OK Dave?
