Israel

We are starting to see what the Arab states mean when they say that they are not opposed to peace with Israel. See http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=LDOCOUY2GZE1RQFIQMGSFFOAVCBQWIV0?xml=/news/2007/03/28/wisrael28.xml. Essentially, this is a "take it or leave it" offer. No negotiation whatsoever. Of course, I have little doubt that the MSM in this country (and even more so in Europe) will crow about the generous nature of the "peace offer", and U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice will surely praise it, as will the perpetually pro-Arab State Department. For that matter, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud "Jellyfish" Olmert will probably proclaim that he is in favour of it, too.

The whole concept of land for peace has proven to be a charade. How well did that work for Israel in Lebanon and Gaza?
