Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Indeed, as we learn, [Mahmoud Abbas], who was marketed by the Palestinians as the only leader with whom Israel would be able to make peace, is far from being a man of peace. It has become apparent that the man, who by "internationalizing the conflict" hopes to get the return of all the refugees, all of East Jerusalem, dismantlement of all the Jewish settlements in the West Bank, Israeli withdrawal to the 1967 borders and independence for the Palestinians without making peace, seems more and more like [Arafat]. This situation does not augur well for a possible solution. By returning to the '67 borders and establishing a Palestinian state in Judea andSamaria, which will be controlled by Hamas/Iran, Israel would be faced with what Abba Eban rightfully called "Auschwitz borders." After all the concessions and offers Israel has made over the years, we are farther away than ever from peace, and European hostility to Israel has reached unprecedented levels. There are no demands made on the Palestinians and they are constantly rewarded for bad behavior by European pressure on Israel to roll over and die.
