Asserts Ken Blackwell and Bob Morrison, senior fellows at the conservative Family Research Council: "As Americans, we need to ask ourselves what the Arabs in Palestine have done to deserve a state? Their only political expression has been to elevate the likes of Yasser Arafat or the avowedly terrorist Hamas organization to power. Viewing the PA as an expression of the will of the Arabs of Palestine leads us to think that Mahmoud Abbas is some kind of democrat. He does not dare to hold an election on the West Bank. He knows he and his cronies would be ousted in favor of Hamas. How can [former George W. Bush official] Pete Wehner hold out for a 'two-state solution' and reject Mahmoud Abbas’s drive in the UN to have his PA declared a state now?"
