Pool for Pelestinian PMs assasination?

[Joe DeFuria]

I said we placed pressure on those countries. I didn't say whether it was successful or not.

If we can place pressure on Iran and Syria with bellicose words, why not Israel and Palestine? Frankly the situation between them concerns most of the arab world, moreso than the deposition of saddam hussein.

That's not a relevant analogy, IMO.

We're not putting pressure on Iran and Syria so that they behave well toward one another. We're putting pressure on them to behave toward us. That's a major difference.

In other words, we are a "first party" in the Syria / Iran case, and a third party in the Israel / Palestinian case.

However, considering the billions of dollars, as well as military equipment we funnel to Israel, I'm sure we could at least make Israel make concessions. And I'm sure that there are ways to twist the arms of the palestinians as well.
