Meanwhile, on the Syrian Front President Assad Junior keeps courting Israel. Having announced his "interest in overt negotiations in a just and comprehensive peace," he now changed an old Syrian law banning negotiations with Israel. The corrected law states, "Syria will act to achieve a peace treaty with Israel, based on international UN decisions." Sharon in a dismissing note in the Knesset: "We do not negotiate with the Syrians because we have no indications that this is serious." Sure: if the danger of peace were serious, we would send our jets to bomb it away. The Israeli Peace Camp keeps quiet about Sharon's repeated rejections of Syria's peace proposals. As even right-wing novelist Eyal Meged correctly observes, the Peace Camp is so busy supporting Sharon's "peace" with the Palestinians, that it doesn't want to bother the Leader with trifles like peace with Syria. After all, making peace on two fronts is really too much (especially when you don't want to make it even on one). antiwar.com
