>>Quartet: Israel is obstructing peace again! It's all Israel's fault!<<

I sympathize with this point of view but must tell you that I believe that the settlements will make it almost impossible to promote any peaceful resolution.

Some argue that the Palestinians must accept the settlements.

If so, how can Israel reject the Right of Return?

I think you can't have it both ways. If Arabs must accept Jews, then mustn't Jews accept Arabs?

And if not, why not?

Sharon is trusting that Bush is not going to play along with this scenario and has something else up his sleeve. What, I don't know.


Interesting to speculate. We can guess, I think accurately, that Bush's personal attitude toward the Pal/Israeli situation is not too far off from ours. The only thing I can see that he can do is pressure Abbas. And if Abbas can't deliver, I don't see Bush just setting there and letting it go.
