All or None

Former US President Bill Clinton declared that one man was to blame for the failure to achieve peace in the Middle East:"Benyamin Netanyahu". The interests of truth and fairness seldom seem to cloud the disgraced Clinton's judgement. (Is "disgraced" too harsh a word for the man who sought to redefine the meaning of "is", who made the blue dress the subject of titters, and who unintentionally made "Lewinsky" a household name?) If fact still matters, the actual reason peace has not been sealed has nothing to do with who leads Israel, but the nature of Islam. Islam is marked by maximilism and triumphalism in the religion itself? Name one nation where Muslims have the upper hand where tolerance prevails? The source of the conflict is no mystery. It can easily be seen even in the comments of Mahmoud Abbas in his historic comments to the United Nations. Far from hiding intentions, Abbas declared to the world at the UN that he would not recognize Israel "as a Jewish state". Abbas whose doctorate is (literally) in Holocaust denial and who arranged the financing of the Munich Olympic Massacre remains determined that no Jews will be permitted in the new Palestine when that state forms. The reason Mr. Clinton for the absence of peace has nothing to do with Mr. Netanyahu and everything to do with the nature of the ultimate aim of the vast majority of Muslims, who will never accept the existence of Israel as the Jewish State.
