Several days ago I wrote about the loons in Iran and their call for the extinction of Israel.  Today I come with much, much better news!  While no countries, to my knowledge, have come out in support of Iran, many, including most Arab countries, have been silent on it.  Neither supporting or denying the call.

But there is one notable exception.  Palestine.

The comments were even criticized by Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat .

"We have recognized the state of Israel and we are pursuing a peace process with Israel, and ... we do not accept the statements of the president of Iran," Erekat said. "This is unacceptable."

I have heard people say that there is no hope for peace between Palestinians and Israel until one is completely erradicated.  While peace is not on the horizon yet, this statement goes a very long way to show me that a peaceful coexistance between Israel and a Palestinian state is not only a wishful thought, but perhaps a foreseeable reality.

Let us all hope that there are more leaders like Erekat and a lof fewer like Ahmadinejad.
