And maybe, just maybe, wishful thinking, left leaning, Israeli politicians will learn some lessons about not pushing their noses into the politicking of our enemies. Hopefully they won't attempt to build up the stocks of any 'would be' Palestinian Arab leader and call him peaceful 'peace partner', which is what they did with Abbas when they wanted to undermine Arafat. And look what he is up to now ... I for one don't think he is into any kind of a peace deal with Israel ...
