    Poll: Majority Palestinians See Israel's Elimination as Goal —John Neal
   At the very least, there should be *civil* war in the West Bank. It makes me laugh to hear those such as Mubarak calling for a Palestinian State *now*, as if that reality alone will change *any* future attitudes or behaviors of the Palestinians (...)

      (...) It is not my choice of words. I am referring to the wording of the question... nothing more (see above). However, you are quite wrong.
