  aspirations."
  .
  "Or if he hadn’t rejected the offer of a state 17 years ago. Or if he hadn’t renounced his renunciation of terror."
  .
  "A Palestinian state would also most likely exist if Arafat’s successor, Mahmoud Abbas ... hadn’t rejected it again nine years ago,
  .
  and if Gazans hadn’t turned their territory into a terrifying model of Palestinian statehood,
  .
  and if the United Nations didn’t treat Hamas’ attacks on Israel as a nuisance but Israel’s self-defense as a crime against humanity."
