Accordingly, after decades of fighting for, and being on the precipice of achieving, statehood (even getting no less a person than US President George W Bush to recognise their right of national self-determination), the Palestinians have chosen instead to wage civil war. In fact, this is now the prevailing state of affairs in the once-occupied territories, where internecine battles are raging between the religious fanatics of Hamas, who control the Gaza Strip, and the secular crooks of Fatah, who are hanging on for dear life in the West Bank.
Meanwhile, despite billions in development aid from their respective puppet masters, there are no signs anywhere that the Palestinians will ever be interested in seizing any opportunity for peace.
