ANOTHER ENDORSEMENT FOR THE SENATOR:

Shalom: PA trying to buy time until US elections (Herb Keinon, Oct. 17, 2004, Jerusalem Post)

Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat is dictating to the PA a policy intended to buy time until the US elections in November, Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom told the cabinet Sunday.

Shalom said Arafat's hope is that the results of the elections will create a new political situation that, with the assistance of the European Union, will allow him to improve his international position and make him once again a viable Palestinian negotiating partner.

Israel wants Bush; the PLO wants Kerry. You'd think that would simplify the choice for most folks.
