Price of Peace

Another four Israelis have just been murdered, one a pregnant woman, to usher in another round of farcical negotiations all about process but never about that which can not be achieved- true and lasting peace. The old expression "two to tango" has never been more relevant than in the context of peace talks. Let us say one side is willing to make all sorts of concessions (and has already- giving away vast swathes of what was to start with already a limited territory) and the other side holds fast with demands that if implemented would lead to the inevitable annihilation of the side which favors compromise. This is the situation as it prevails today vis-a-vis Israel/the Palestinian Authority (PA) which is somehow considered an arbiter of peace in spite of constant incitement against the Jews emanating from all its official organs and right out of the mouth of its leader Mahmoud Abbas. The PA has in any event little natural constituency with most Palestinians favoring Hamas' public determination to obliterate the Jews outright over the old Palestinian Liberation Organization "plan of stages" which is also irredentist but will allow for gradual eradication of the Zionist entity to facilitate the piecemeal removal of Jewish presence on the land which Abbas and his ilk favor. US President Barack Hussein Obama may indeed impose a Palestinian state, but this action will bring no peace- only ultimate End Time world war, dooming everyone to rapid destruction. Like so much else of Obama's meddling, supposedly with only the best of intentions, the Washington talks are a recipe for disaster.
