All that is left for the Palestinians to do is envy Israel, which has a vibrant parliament where lawmakers, including Arab MPs, are free to express their views without fear.

Palestinians in Ramallah on Tuesday launched a global campaign to secure the nomination of jailed terrorist leader Marwan Barghouti for the Nobel Peace Prize. Barghouti is currently serving five life sentences in Israel for orchestrating the killing of Israelis in numerous attacks.

Even the Palestinians are protesting the human rights abuses and corruption of the PA.
