Peace Is Not Going to Erupt in Annapolis

[Ha'aretz] Yoel Marcus - On November 29, it will be 60 years since the UN General Assembly approved the Partition Plan for creating two states in Mandatory Palestine. The Jews greeted the resolution with singing and dancing. The Arabs flatly rejected it, opening fire on two civilian buses the very next day. If the Palestinians had accepted the UN Partition Plan in 1947, my guess is that their state would have been bigger, we would have been reasonably good neighbors, and they would be better off than they are today. But the world has changed. The Cold War has turned into a struggle against a new enemy: crazed Islamic fundamentalists who have declared global war on the infidels, on the Great Satan, on the Little Satan. All are targets of deadly, indiscriminate terror - terror that is nurturing nuclear claws. The emissaries and instructors of a Holocaust-denying Muslim leader are infiltrating Israel to help Palestinian extremist organizations complete the job that Hitler didn't finish. Most Palestinians are prepared to divide the country today, but on condition that they don't pay a penny for their idiocy, their ineptitude and their crimes, not to mention the Jewish blood they have spilled. They demand that we turn the clock back, that we pay them restitution, that we agree to their right of return.
