As the Holocaust-denying puppet Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority meets with Barack Obama, our laughable headline of the day is from the Associated Press: Abbas pushing pan-Arab peace with Israel.

Is there any diplomat anywhere who really believes there’s going to be a “pan-Arab peace with Israel,” if Israel agrees to withdraw to the 1967 borders? Is it really difficult to see that this enormous concession will only be the impetus for more demands, more attacks, more terrorism?

Arab diplomats said earlier this month that the U.S. had asked the 22-member Arab League to amend the 2002 Saudi initiative so that it would be more palatable to Israel.

“What we are discussing today is a combined approach of bringing together Arabs, Europeans and the United States as a team to create the circumstances over the next several months that allow Israelis and Palestinians to sit at the table, but also with Lebanese, Syrians and Arab nations,” Jordan’s Abdullah said at the time during a conference in Berlin.

It’s very easy to predict that any such meetings will quickly dissolve into discord and disaster. The only real question is whether the collapse would happen after a day or a week.

The so-called peace process in the Middle East has absolutely no chance of advancing until this bizarre denial of the fact of Arab rejectionism ceases. It doesn’t matter how many concessions Israel makes, and it doesn’t matter whether settlements keep expanding or whether they’re completely eliminated. The agenda of the Arab states is the destruction of Israel; they’re prepared to wait as long as it takes, and to sign any agreements they need to sign (and immediately break them) for that purpose — and in the meantime, any concessions will only embolden them into believing that goal is within reach.

Dealing honestly with this reality is the first step that needs to take place in any real peace process.
