Palestinian W. Bank residents: 'We don't deserve a state'

As the fighting continues in Gaza, we hear again from the Religion of Peace:


"Everyone here is disgusted by what's happening in the Gaza Strip," said Shireen Atiyeh, a 30-year-old mother of three working in one of the Palestinian Authority ministries. "We are telling the world that we don't deserve a state because we are murdering each other and destroying our universities, colleges, mosques and hospitals. Today I'm ashamed to say that I'm a Palestinian."

Hmmmm.....

Hafez Barghouti, editor of the PA-funded daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, said he was concerned that the fighting would tarnish the image of the Palestinians. "Tens of millions of people now look at us as worthless gangsters with no values," he complained.

There's just one thing I don't understand. How come all those self-proclaimed intelligent, nuanced, denizens of the Left haven't spun this as Bush's fault? Isn't there some global warming angle? They must be slipping.
