Fantasy land

Isrealis, westerners etc have fallen in love with the dream of Peace and have long lost sight of reality. Objective criticism of the "process" has never existed. Israel was always judged on a different basis. Concessions were repeatedly made for empty promises, usually the same useless promises.

The classification of Fatah as "moderate' was always an absurd fiction made from desperation. Too many wanted peace so badly that they ended up guaranteeing that it would not be achieved. The real route causes were overlooked, hatred taught to children, internal arab corruption. The blind panic we see now to arm Abbas yet again and to shower him with money will fail and the arms and money used to kill Israelis and Americans.
