Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Hamas and Fatah infighting is just additional evidence that the arabs of Gaza and West Bank have no intention of forming a viable government and establishing a constructive society, so it is time that the world/mideast woke up to the illusion that is a "Palestinian State".

Israel is willing to give the Golan Heights back to Syria. So the United Nations should follow suit and immediately step in and assign the Gaza strip to Egypt and have the Egyptian army take possession of that area. All arabs in Gaza would become citizens of Egypt. Then the West Bank (except for those areas behind the current barrier in Israeli control) should be assigned back to Jordan. All arabs in these West Bank areas would become citizens of Jordan (like 1948-1967). At least Jordan and Egypt are established governments, primarily arab populations/language/culture and recognize Israel. Forget Hamas and Fatah altogether. They are both illegitimate.

If at a later date Egypt and Jordan want to entertain a so called "Palestinian State" for those areas that they control, then that would be up to them. (Of course they did not do this in the past when both countries controlled those areas for nearly 20 years.)
