Dreaming the impossible dream

Western political "leaders" continue to do just that. They support one terrorism-enabling Palestinian leader after another, the latest being Mahmoud Abbas: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120269089266857707.html.

This Op-Ed was written by an Israeli and a Palestinian, the latter of whom has pretty good credentials as to not being an "Israeli pawn". Both writers correctly point out that as long as the West in general and the United States and Europe in particular continue to fund, arm, and provide diplomatic support for corrupt and dishonest individuals who profess to be Palestinian leaders but really aren't, the status quo is the absolute best we can achieve.

It's a grim situation, but we have only ourselves to blame for it. Those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.................
