Panting after Peace
(Washington Times) Joel Mowbray - Some argue that striking an Israeli-Palestinian deal would be the first domino that would rally the Arab states to prevent Iran from obtaining nukes. This is absurd. Arab dictators already want to stop Iran, as they fear the political dominance the mullahs would achieve across the region should they acquire nukes. Furthermore, a "two-state" solution currently seems impossible because of Hamas' control over Gaza. Simply put, ordinary Palestinians are not yet ready to accept peaceful coexistence with a Jewish state of Israel.
