Little has changed since Lawrence of Arabia struggled to unite warring bands (today's militias) in the struggle against the Turks ("At least 15 killed during factional fighting," May 16). The unity did not last too long.
These constant clashes in Gaza with the tragic loss of life point only to one major problem: The people of the Palestinian Authority are not candidates for statehood at this time and should seek a confederation with one of the Arab states in the region to assist them to create the internal security they desperately need and to bring some kind of normality to their lives.
Possibly after a generation or two, when calm returns and life becomes livable, thoughts can turn to an independent region which could mature into a state alongside Israel
