Quotable Words

...a senior European diplomat recently cited Israeli settlers as a major obstacle to any progress towards peace...Steve Clemons captured the view of a portion of the foreign policy establishment when he characterized new Israeli settlements as "toxic."

To view the settlements this harshly is to accept the Palestinians claim that they are entitled to live in territory that is free of Jews. But the assertion of that claim only further demonstrates the Palestinian's deep and abiding hatred of Israelis and of Jews. It is that hatred, not the settlements, that represent the primary obstacle to peace. Indeed, Israel would be foolish to make concessions to such a population in exchange for mere promises.
