Its a flawed strategy. How can the US be an unbiased mediator while it supplies one side with weapons and not the other?
Because Israel is a state defending its borders, whereas many within the Palestinian territory will pursue nothing less than the annihilation of Israel. Guns in Israel are used to fight terrorism and defend Israel's borders. Guns sold to Palestine will never be limited to defending Palestine, they will be used to destroy Israel.

Oh come on. Its like how the Israeli conservatives recently voted against a Palestinian homeland: each side has their own idiot extremists. No one with a brain actually believes there can't be a compromise - its just a matter of how far people will go.

That Charter of the PLO: I'd like to know when it was written, whether it was drafted at a time when Israel was being particularly offensive. As if while Israelis are killing Palestinians that charter will be revoked or made less extreme.
