Is the so-called roadmap already a failure. So says Rashid Khalidi of The University of Chicago writing in The Nation. It is already a failure, but for the opposite reasons than Khalidi gives. Did you note how Khalidi a) bemoaned the lack of fixed (i.e. not performance-based) timetables in the 'roadmap'), b) decried any expectations of Palestinian performance ("decimated police" and all that), and had great sympathy for the root causes of Palestinian violence, noting "it didn't come out of nowhere", as if blowing up kids on buses was the only natural response to occupation? Can you say, apology for terror, big-time? What he wants, is for Palestinian terror to continue while the Israelis roll back, which of course will make Palestinian terror easier and more effective. The real bottom-line question is, is terror just another acceptable political recourse to frustration, or is it to be treated as unacceptable and beyond the pale? Khalidi obviously regards it as acceptable. Against Israelis, that is.
