Abbas Is Right!: Mideast Peace Is More Important Than Settlement Building

Abbas understands the importance of peace:
Achieving Middle East peace is more important than building more settlements, Israel Radio quoted Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas as saying on Thursday, urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government to seize the opportunity to strike a final-status deal.
Now that Abbas has made clear that he understands the paramount importance of peace--and that Middle East peace is more important than settlements--we can assume that Abbas also knows:


  • Middle East peace is more important than inciting hatred towards Israel
  • Middle East peace is more important than teaching hatred of Israel in West Bank schools
  • Middle East peace is more important than refusing to recognize Israel as a Jewish state
  • Middle East peace is more important than delegitimizing Israel
  • Middle East peace is more important than co-opting Jewish religious sites
  • Middle East peace is more important than honoring terrorists who murdered Israelis
  • Middle East peace is more important than denying Jewish history
  • Middle East peace is more important than waiting 9 months into a 10 month moratorium on building in the West Bank before having to be dragged to the peace talks

Abbas claims to know how important it is to achieve Middle East peace.
It is long overdue for Abbas to demonstrate that he really believes it.

We know that is never going to happen - unless Israel agrees to undertake in advance to commit national suicide. Some peace.

But then Abu Bluff won't return to the table until Israel has given that undertaking. That is how much Mideast peace really means to him.

No kidding!
