US? Yes, but WHY ??? Israel feels it has to mollify its trading partners without actually giving the Arabs pieces of the Land, but the US has no reason to pander to them.

To Sandy Arabia, perhaps? Not really. The media may pretend to believe that, but the Wahhabis know we have only one use for them. As long as they get money, we get oil. They passed the point some years ago when they could afford to withhold their own income.

Abbas will then state that by golly he’s tried his best but he simply can’t fully control the militants. This explanation will be accepted by the world and Israel’s intransigence will be pegged as the reason for yet another failure of the peace process.

Anyone want to bet on this?

I wish Gillerman had the cojones to say all this at the next opportunity at the UN, but he will play the loyal party member. Too bad. Israel would get more respect if she walked away from these Arabs and their transparent games.
