If there's anyone dumber than Kerry in this sphere of foreign relations, Abbas is it. The unaccomplished sidekick of Yasser who can't even garner enough support to stand for election more than once. Kerry envies that.
If Abu Mazen had half a brain, alternately if he cared a whit about the Arabs in his charge who call themselves palestinians, he'd immediately engage in negotiations brokered by the US. My guess, he could get about the same deal they've turned down three times since Bubba and Camp David. Territorial swaps. East Jerusalem as their capital. And no, President Trump is not opposed to that, he opened the door to it. Bibi might not like that. He'd build a legacy. When he dies, the terrorists fight for control. Which they'll do anyway if he cuts a deal. But what good are the tens or hundreds of millions in France if you can't enjoy them. Ask Suha. But he won't. The planner of the Munich Olympics slaughter can't recognize that his mild concession would just be a giant step along the phased plan. Arafat was stupid in that respect as well.

Arafat was not so dumb. He took note of what happened to Anwar Sadat, and preferred to be murdered by his bodyguard lovers or his wife for personal reasons, and have it blamed on Israel.
