Rabin, Barak and even Sharon were a very long time ago ....and what about Olmert ??

There is no DeKlerk fiqure within Israeli politics today that is willing or able to stand against the power of
the settlers ......I wish there was .

While I can easily see Israel produce a DeKlerk figure (we've had Rabin, Barak and even Sharon as examples), I cannot conceive of the Palestinian leadership producing a Mandella figure to match, as long as they remain a pawn in the hands of the competing Shiah/Sunni regional powers using the Palestinians for their own gains without regard to the Paletinian people themselves.

Actually they have their Mandella figure .....his name is Marwan Barghouti.
