The cynic in me is fully gorged on the latest Israel news. The world watched as Jews evicted Jews to make Gaza a Jew-free zone. The world watched as synagogues burned and savages celebrated. The world watched as anarchy erupted for a week, and ignored reports that tons of weapons and drugs moved freely between Egypt and Gaza, knowing full well those weapons are aimed straight at Jews. So now, what does the world want?
According to the statement, the Quartet “calls for an end to all violence and terror. While the PA leadership has condemned violence and has sought to encourage Palestinian groups who have engaged in terrorism to abandon this course and engage in the democratic process, the Quartet further urges the Palestinian Authority to maintain law and order and dismantle terrorist capabilities and infrastructure.”
Hey, good! They “call for” an end to terror. They “urge” the PA to, gee, enforce law and order. But what do they want from Israel?
“What happens in the West Bank is very much on our mind,” UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said. “For us, the Quartet, it’s Gaza first and then the next stage will be the West Bank, not Gaza first and Gaza last.”
More evictions of Jews, without a single step from the palestinians. Except for “urging” them to disarm terrorists.
For what are we still waiting an answer?
“We will not cooperate with [Hamas’s] desire to participate in the forthcoming Palestinian elections,” Shalom said. “And we call on the international community to make clear its own opposition to the inclusion of such terrorists in the democratic process. If Gaza is indeed to be the positive model we all wish to see, then it is those who promote dialogue – not violence – who must be empowered.”
Oh, no, wait. We got our answer. The answer is: Suck it up and hope they don’t really mean it.
