The Economist on Palestinian Statehood

"The prospects for peace look pretty discouraging right now, but there are bright spots. Palestinians are optimistic about their future, angry at corruption and hungry for a generational change. The PA leadership is genuinely committed to non-violence. Most important, many Israelis seem to have internalised the idea that crushing the Palestinian economy and government does not make Israel safer; it makes it less safe. The more prosperous Palestinians are, the stronger the PA is, the better are the chances of concluding a peace deal."
