A timely reminder from Egypt’s president
Try
as they might, American and Israeli politicians and their herds of
followers and lobbyists in the United States cannot seem to shake off
the Palestine issue or the Arab-Israeli conflict. It seems that the
Palestine issue, the heart of the Arab-Israeli conflict, simply will not
go away, as we are reminded again this week when world leaders gather
in New York for the start of this year’s United Nations General Assembly
session.In the span of the last few days, we’ve heard Republican
presidential candidate Mitt Romney speak wildly about how the
Palestinians, in his bizarre view, do not want to make peace and want to
destroy Israel. Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has spoken wildly
about how Israelis have no links to the Middle East and will be
eliminated – apparently oblivious to the fact that all the Arab
countries have a standing offer on the table to live in peace with
Israel if it recognizes the national rights of the Palestinians.
