A real little upstart group of Palestinians, comparing the quality of their governance procedures ordered by Israel, they decided that the best thing that can happen to them is to give up their government.
Consequently, they ask Israel to keep the members of the Hamas government the Israelis arrested in response to the kidnapping of an Israeli soldier by militants.
Even more surprisingly, are in favor of a one-state solution, with the Gaza Strip and West Bank volunteering to become part of Israel.
To make their voices heard, took to the streets, waving banners that read: "Palestine, not Israel, yes," "I almost already speak Hebrew" and ". Let's Make A Deal"
Israel has reacted cautiously to the unexpected development, with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert saying: "Let our soldiers return;. Then maybe we can talk"
When a reporter pointed out that if Gaza and the West Bank part of Israel, the soldier would be technically already in Israel, Olmert replied: "Yes, but we want him to return to his home, and we want him there alive. Then we can make a team. "
Asked what he meant by a staff, he said, "As you know, we insist that Israel has a Jewish majority. It 'just that, throughout the Middle East, there should be at least one country that does. After all, our ancestors were here, and why we set up the country. We must therefore determine that many more Palestinians in Israel, we do not have a Jewish majority? At the moment, I'd say no way, Hosni. "
The reporter asked: "So, the last Palestinian proposal to Israel to become a one-state solution would not be acceptable to you?"
"I do not see how, unless they agreed to limit procreation for a few decades, while the Israelis have decided to get on the gas. Then maybe we could work something out."
"For example?"
"Oh, maybe our government could have no voting rights. Remember that one of the most uncomfortable things to have a Palestinian majority that would vote that could be replaced by a Palestinian. We can not have that. But I'd like to see Israel Palestinians and happy. "
"Happy?" Wow, that's asking a lot, no? "The journalist said. "He has always prevailed that state in the Middle East?"
"It's not in my life, but I'm an idealist," Olmert said. "To tell the truth, we should all just be happy in this region. It would be the best thing since sliced bread Challah."
Then his mind wandered back to find a time when people in the Middle East may have been happy. "You know, happiness for everyone in this region would be almost as big as the great day of the burning bush and God illuminated sign over to give Moses the Ten Commandments. By the way, have you ever thought how great is that the finger of God has come out of the bush and the commandments carved in stone only to Moses? "
"Well," said the journalist, considering the issue, "let's just say I've never had a light bush up to give me a shout."
"Oh, I do not know many people who have. But what is more extraordinary is that, when he came down and saw the Israelites worshiping the golden calf, he threw the stone tablets down and broke. But we still have them. "
"Yes, we do. What do you think he has done, rebuilt them together again?"
"Maybe. But I like to imagine a more dramatic sequel. What if he came back, apologized to the bush, and asked for another copy?"
"Oh, well, that's interesting."
"Yes," the prime minister continued, "And, to show the generosity of God, has got it! For me, the second copy is important to me, as the Christian Second Coming. Well, to talk of the Bible. I must return to rule Israel, regardless of whether it will only govern what we consider the current state of Israel or the Palestinians may decide that our government, too. "
