BBC NEWS: In what
some might consider a surprising move, Palestinian President Abbas spoke to the
United Nations, calling for an international peace summit in order to address
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He
described the situation as “no longer bearable” for Palestinians. In response, Israel’s ambassador Danny Danon
argued that Abbas is simply avoiding direct talks with Israel. He said, “rather than driving just 12 minutes
between Ramallah to Jerusalem he has chosen to fly 12 hours to New York to avoid
the possibility of peace.”
Sometimes I just wonder! On the one hand, maybe Abbas really wants
peace, and is simply afraid to talk with Israel. On the other, maybe he does not want peace
with the Israelis, but simply wants to appeal to the United Nations in order to
obtain their sympathy. Not sure!
Is it possible for a United State(s)
of Israel?
