Respecting Past Agreements


It makes one wonder why the Arab public, Europe, or anyone else for that matter would consider the new Fatah/Hamas coalition government any different than a unified Hamas government was just a few weeks ago. Why should they, or anyone else feel that the United States or Israel should change their collective minds about dealing with a ‘Palestinian’ government that still does not recognize Israel’s right to exist?

A difference that makes no difference is not a difference.

Vague promises of respecting past deals with the Israelis are certainly not enough for anyone with a modicum of self-respect or knowledge of other, past ‘Palestinian’ promises (which were never kept) to live up to agreements that were made between them and the Israelis.

Do the ‘Palestinians’ think that Israelis are morons? If someone promises something…and then fails to live up to those promises…and that sort of thing happens over…and over…and over again, it becomes like the boy who cried wolf. No one will believe you. Expecting the world to believe the ‘Palestinians’ now, when they say (again) that they will respect past deals with Israel, is amazing.

It makes one wonder what planet the ‘Palestinians’ and yes, the entire Arab world is living on. It certainly is not planet Earth.

Sadly, these days I highly suspect that Europe and even England will shake their heads at what they will perceive as the U.S. and Israel’s obstinacy when “peace” is “obviously” right around the corner! How is it that Europe and England can be so very blind? Does it have anything to do with fear on the parts of the native populations who have allowed millions of Muslims to immigrate to their nations?

Does it have anything to do with the rapid Islamicizing of Europe and England?

It is telling when it is becoming common to hear the phrase “Londonistan.”

May the United States and Israel stand strong and hold the ‘Palestinians’, indeed the rest of the world’s collective feet to the fire and insist that all past agreements are honored to the letter, and if they are not, then the world should not be surprised when Israel and the U.S. refuse to deal with people who are liars and who so very obviously in many respects, whether a “moderate” (Abbas) or “extremist” (Haniyeh), have the blood of innocent Israelis on their hands.
