Resurrecting a Dead Process

So, suicidal tendencies by Palestinian terrorists will not stop Sec. State Rice from trying to resurrect a totally dead and hopeless peace process between Israel and the Palestinians.

How many times do you have to hit your head against the same problem to realize the futility of trying to force a terrorist group and its minions to stop its ideological and theological war against Israel's very existence to try and make peace with Israel?

It can't be done. In fact, it's delusional to think that a deal can be done in 2008. There's absolutely no reason to think that the Palestinians will simply give up their ideological and theological opposition to Israel's existence.

Fatah is incapable of doing it - they can't even bother eliminating the "symbolic" stuff in their own charter calling for Israel's destruction. If they can't do that, how can you trust them to do anything else, like stop the rocket attacks and all the other plotting of attacks against Israel that occur on a daily basis. Indeed, they were supposed to do that all the way back in 1993, and have never done so. 15 years later, and the calls for incitement are present in the Palestinian media just as they were back then. The mullahs call for Israel's destruction and the Palestinian media gives them a bully pulpit on which calls for Israel's destruction are broadcast regularly.

And Fatah is the least of Israel's concerns, given that if Israel weren't in the West Bank, Fatah there would likely fall to Hamas within days, giving the jihadi group control over both Gaza and West Bank from which to expand its war against Israel.
