I don’t know about you, but I totally
missed the depressing results of a global
survey taken this
spring by the Pew Center for People and the Press. It found that by wide
margins, people from Muslim nations did not believe that it was possible for
the Palestinians’ rights to be respected while Israel existed. Even more
depressing — no, not depressing, infuriating — was the finding that
the global figure that 71 percent of Palestinians surveyed trusted to “do
the right thing” was — wait for it — Osama bin Laden.
