A Donald Duck state
The 'Palestinians' have been heard saying many times that they won't accept a 'Mickey Mouse state.' That's probably a good thing, says Barry Rubin, because the 'Palestinians' are really a Donald Duck type of character.Personally, though, I think Fayyad should ask for a Donald Duck state, a far more appropriate choice. Here’s what a Disney site says about Donald. While Disney (which believes that everyone is naturally good, a nice idea for a children's entertainment company but not for a U.S. president) attributes good intentions to Donald, it continues (please allow me to quote as length as it is too perfect):Read the whole thing.
"But by the time they surface Donald's already off and running in the wrong direction. He refuses to let anyone or anything stand in his way. It doesn't matter how much humiliation the world dishes out to him, Donald will take it and come back for more. He's a loser, not a quitter, and he'll go down fighting. This is a duck with one short fuse, and...when things don't go right, he goes ballistic. Yet after the storm is over and the tantrum is through, when faithful Daisy [one of the heavenly virgins?] soothes his brow or his conscience finally catches up with him, even Donald can admit that there must be a better way. If only he could figure out what it is.
"Hot-headed Donald is a little man in a big world that's trying to keep him down. Call it fate, or call it lack of self-control, nothing goes right for this duck: even his best intentions often go awry. Of course, by the time his best intentions surface he's probably already chasing after less noble pursuits. As stubborn as he is temperamental, he won't give in, even when he's up to his beak in trouble. Then watch out. Like a lot of people with a temper problem, he's blind to his own faults but quick to see them in others. He can't understand why life seems so much easier for pals Mickey and easy-going Goofy. It's not fair. Still, Donald will keep struggling to get what he deserves in the world."
Now if Fayyad admits that Donald Duck is the perfect symbol for the Palestinian movement and the state he wants to create, the casting will be perfect. Moreover, the Saudis can be Scrooge McDuck, Donald’s wealthy uncle who never helps him despite having mounts of money in his vault.
And to this I can only add: That's all, Folks!

Salam Fayad tells us a Palestinian state won't be big enough for his people's dreams? I guess he never saw what a few thousand acres of land in California called the Magical Kingdom has accomplished since 1955. Its insulting Mickey Mouse to say dreams are impossible to fulfill from small beginnings. Israel is a small country and the Jews are happy with what they have. On the other hand the Palestinians will never be satisfied with what they have and that is why there will never be a Palestinian state.
