Ed - exactly right. Those do-gooders who think they're helping the peace process along by advocating for the Palestinians are only encouraging their intransigence.

By insisting Israel appease the Arab side with concessions at no cost, it encourages their intransigence. For its part, Israel prefers not to jeopardize what little <i>pro forma</i> international support it has, and rejects a muscular response to outright terrorism. Eventually, the Arabs will again interpret all this to mean the time is right to eliminate Israel, and they will launch another losing war. This war will make their people more miserable and Israel more vulnerable diplomatically. And this, the Arabs will interpret as "victory". May God defend the right.
