Long-term Goals of the Palestinian Authority?

[Seth Ackerman]

Well, Barak's largest coalition partner was the Shas party, whose spiritual
leader Ovadia Yosef produced this witticism about Arabs just a few months

"It is forbidden to be merciful to them. You must send missiles to them and
annihilate them. They are evil and damnable. May the Holy Name visit
retribution on the heads of the Arabs and cause their seed to be lost."
