THE supposedly "moderate" Palestinian party remains steadfast in its refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish state. But then, this week's Fatah gathering in Bethlehem won't even help promote the creation of a new Palestinian state.
All of which leaves the Obama plans for the Middle East looking like a road map to nowhere.
It's been 62 years since the UN General Assembly partitioned British-mandated Palestine into two states, defining one as Arab and the other as Jewish. Egypt signed on to peace 30 years ago, and in 1993 Yasser Arafat "recognized" Israel in the Oslo agreement. Six years ago, President George W. Bush envisioned "two states living side by side in peace."
Yet almost all Arabs remain unified in their "outrage" over Israel's renewed demand for recognition as a Jewish state.
It's high time for President Obama to publicly admonish Fatah on this point, just as he pressured Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to publicly declare his adherence to the "two-state solution."

The liklihood of Zero confronting the Arab world is zero.
Yeah, like THAT's going to happen...
It’s way past time to push the arabs out to the sea. They have no right to be causing any trouble in Yisrael.
That's because the "moderate" Palestinian party -- rather than creating their own state -- would rather work on pushing the Israelis into the sea!
STE=Q
I suggest pushing them back into Syria, Jordan, and Egypt where they belong. Which, by the way, is where they came from.
Give that a shot. If it fails, cluster bomb them until nothing is left twitching.
Great idea!

It's way past time to nuke 'em, plant the flag, and let Europe and China know the price of crude is going up -- for them.
