The Palestinians Have No Interest in Peace

[American Thinker] Richard Baehr - As reported by the New York Times no less, it turns out that an overwhelming majority of Palestinians in both Gaza and the West Bank support violence against Israel and want an end to any talks with Israel. While Mahmoud Abbas initially condemned the cold-blooded slaughter of children in Jerusalem, he subsequently elevated the killer to martyr status, and the killer is now glorified in the Palestinian media as another hero of the resistance. When a gunman enters a school and aims to murder as many children as possible and the killer is treated as a national hero, we are dealing with a society that has no equal on the planet in terms of its abandonment of morality and basic human decency. Peace has always been the Israeli goal: end the conflict, compromise on all the major issues, and finally put an end to the claims and grievances hurled against Israel in the region and in international organizations. For the Palestinians, peace may be a stage in movement toward a goal (a short-term tactic), but peace itself has no meaning to the Palestinians. The Palestinian national ethos is broadcast constantly by Hamas - that Israelis worship life, but we (the Palestinians) worship death, and so are destined in the end to win. The Palestinian goal is the end of Israel.
