Beggars can’t be choosers

The Palestinians’ have made themselves beggars:
The Palestinians’ first preference is for Arab troops, but they would be happy to accept Western, specifically Australian, troops as peacekeepers and peace monitors.
“We have said repeatedly we are against all rockets launched (into Israel) from Gaza,” Dr Malki said in his Ramallah office. “How will we solve this?
Double-talk. Having Arab troops acting as ‘peacekeepers’ would have nothing to do with maintaining peace. The force would become a de facto Palestinian occupying force, designed to place strategic pressure on Israel’s defences. That’s why the preference for an Arab force led by Egypt.
