France condemns Arafat isolation.

There are two true obstacles on the road to peace: The
current leadership of Israel, and the hysterical majority
of Israeli Jews that the leadership have succesfully misled
into believing that a)negotiating peace is impossible and
that b)peace can be brought by uniteral annexation of large
parts of remaining Palestinian land.

The majority of Israeli Jews have been lead to believe that
the Palestinian leadership rejected a very generous offer
in the 2001 negotiations and that the failure of those
negotiations have made all future negotiations impossible.
Yet I believe that if they would have been given the
kind of offer the Palestinian leadership were, most of
the Israeli Jews themselves would have rejected it.

It´s no accident that the people who believe that
Palestinians should have accepted the deal do not know
anything about it contents; if the Palestinians would
have been offer the kind of deal the critics believe
they were, then certainly the Palestinians would have
accepted it. The fault of the Palestinian leadership
lies in it that they were utterly bad in PR then.

Any support to the current Israeli leadership is foolhardy
and weakens the chances of true peace. They have done and
said pretty much everything that they can to destroy any
chance of peace. Yet, the Western countries act like they
wouldn´t have any knowledge of Israeli leaderships actions
and words. One can only wonder what the Western countries
believe they will achieve by this.

Certainly the only chance of peace is making sure at least
to the Israeli public, that if Israel wants peace, then it
must accept the fact, that it will much give up all the lands
that they have occupied. This the majority of Israeli Jews
are not ready, according to polls. Their current favorite
explanation seems to be that "If we would withdraw from
all of Gaza and West Bank, that wouldn´t be enough for
the Palestinians and they would just want more." The Israelis
who use it don´t seem to understand that at this point that
is just a guess; currently it is they who are wanting more and
more land; their hunger for more land is seemingly endless.

A gallup, if I remember correctly it was in the Maariv
magazine, showed that 66% of Israeli Jews support
annexation of at least part of West Bank. Same people
then ask time after time why Palestinians want a right
of return to refugees if they got their own state on Gaza
and West Bank? Answer? They should look at the map. Even
at best, the future Palestinian state will be a small,
small state. And if there Sharon plans will come true,
it will be even more smaller. There just isn´t room for
all the refugees, even now.

I get angry when I read this kind of Israeli sh*t. They
arrogantly distort facts even when they know that their most
of their audience know that they are speaking utter cr*p.
