Condi's Great Moral Error

Here's a snippet from the Quartet Statement today as pronounced by Condoleeza Rice:-

The Quartet reiterated its call to the parties to fully implement their obligations under phase one of the Roadmap, including in relation to freezing settlement activity and the dismantlement of the infrastructure of terrorism.


These two cannot be equated and interlocked.

Terrorism has existed since the beginning of the Zionist enterprise. Arab terror does not depend nor is it related to this or that act of Jewish national effort, nor to the amount of territory under Jewish control or sovereignty nor to anything a Jew does, good or bad. Arab terror is the constant.

Arab terror is Islamic, is anti-colonialist, is Marxist or whatever but it is always anti-Jewish. Fatah was Marxist, Hamas is Islamic, PFLP was Leninist or Maoist or whatever. The important thing was that it was against Jews.

Jews could have their homeland partitioned and Jordan created, have what was left partitioned by a Royal (Peel) Commission in 1937, and again by the Woodhead Commission in 1938, by the UN in 1947, etc., etc., etc. But no Arab would agree to any border configuration.

In linking, even semantically, terror and Jewish residency, a great moral error is being made and a political failure is advanced.
