Stating the Obvious

Israel admits there are problems with the blueprint for peace.

Wow. Can you get any more obvious than that?

Fatah seeks Israel's destruction, and yet the diplomats think that we can work with them because the dollars are flowing to them by the hundreds of millions of dollars.

The problems, however, that this story is talking about is how the diplomats can't agree on how detailed the peace conference in Annapolis should get. Should they provide detailed timetables to Palestinian statehood (which will be ignored just as practically every Palestinian obligation to stop incitement to violence against Israel has been ignored?)

Besides, who exactly are the Israelis supposed to be negotiating with? Fatah?

Fatah can barely control the West Bank, and don't control Gaza, which is in the hands of an even more violent bunch of Palestinian terrorists who seek Israel's destruction, Hamas.

Both Palestinian terrorist groups seek Israel's destruction, and yet Israel thinks that giving them ever more territory is the solution to the thorny problem of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Based on what the Palestinians say to their own people and throughout the Arab media the following is completely disregarded by the diplomats:

A two-state solution does not satisfy Palestinian demands.

Sharing Jerusalem does not satisfy Palestinian demands.

A partial right of return does not satisfy Palestinian demands.

Israel's cessation as a nation would.

The Palestinians are not interested in peace with Israel. They're interested in having Israel in pieces.

The Palestinian civil war between Fatah and Hamas was launched because Hamas thought that Fatah was dragging its feet over how quickly to destroy Israel and that they were giving up on some of the immediate demands for Israel's destruction - and that by negotiating with Israel was not furthering Palestinians desires for all of Israel.

The Palestinian terrorists continue launching attacks against Israel on a daily basis from Gaza, which is wholly in Palestinian hands. Terrorists continue plotting attacks, and that goes for Fatah as well as Hamas and PIJ and other terrorist groups that splinter off the main groups because they're not sufficiently violent enough and/or they provide plausible deniability for the main terrorist groups that they're not involved in the terrorist acts.

That's why we continue to hear about the farce that is a military wing of a terrorist group and the political wing of a terrorist group, even though both are one in the same - they both seek Israel's destruction but by different means.
