(Jerusalem Post) Efraim Inbar - The Palestinians, just like the Somalis, have proven that state building is not a universal talent. We see in the Palestinian enterprise a fragmented society under the rule of thugs and local warlords, united only by entrenched hatred toward the Jews and by an ingrained penchant for violence. While self-determination is held by many to be a basic right, it is not self-evident that every ethnic group has the political maturity to exercise it. Indeed, the international community increasingly views the Palestinians as unable to govern themselves successfully. The bitter truth is that the two-state concept is not suitable for stabilizing the situation. The writer is director of the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies at Bar-Ilan University. 2004-09-14 00:00:00Full Article
