CANDADIAN MUSLIM: PALIS DON'T WANT PEACE

Time to end the charade by Salim Mansur (Toronto Sun)
The truth of the matter is that there is nothing to broker when one party, the Palestinians and their Arab-Muslim financiers and supporters, remains committed to the destruction of the other party, the Israelis.

Instead of another international conference the Americans would do better in accepting the obvious — that a Palestinian state exists, and it is called Jordan with its population being overwhelmingly Palestinian.

Another Arab state squeezed on American insistence between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean — its population hostile to the West and readily embracing every passing totalitarian ideology in its declared aim of harming Jews and destroying Israel — instead of being a recipe for any final settlement, will be the source of unremitting conflict in the region and terrorism beyond.

Moreover, Palestinians killing each other while continuing to be supportive of terrorism — in addition to the appalling record of Arab-Muslim regimes disregarding human rights and respect for minorities — make them undeserving of the amount of attention provided by American administrations in contrast to the level of American support extended to the equal, if not more deserving, claims of the people suffering in Darfur, Burma, Tibet and Zimbabwe. Diplomacy not infrequently is trading politely in falsehood.
