"Palestinian" Minister Praises Obama
So what's the big deal? Castro and Mugabe like him too. What's interesting to me ..... is the outside world sees the US Presidential race more clearly than we do.
JORDAN TIMES: "Palestinian minister praises Obama" hat tip Daryl
QUOTE: " 'He (Obama) promised he would not wait ...he will make it happen from day one' "
EXCERPTS:TOKYO (AFP) - A senior Palestinian minister said 3 July that he was pinning his hopes on US presidential candidate Barack Obama, believing he would seal an elusive deal on creating a Palestinian state. The Palestinian Authority's Planning Minister Samir Abdullah told reporters on a visit to Tokyo he expected Obama to win the election in November and "look at the Palestinian question and try to do something about it". "He promised that he will not wait until the end of his term to launch negotiations and he will make it happen from day one. I hope that he will fulfil his promise," he said. . . .

To take another angle also, reading these stories, and the ones in the carribean and Africa, it seems that all these "ministers" and foreigner supporters all have their hands out.Everyones hoping for change in a handout.

President Bush didn't wait until the end of his term. It's you Palestinians who want a state without the existence of Israel. You are all killers.

There is ALREADY a Palestinian state - it is called Jordan. Israel goes from the west bank of the Jordan River to the sea - not one INCH less.
