Arab Journalist Views Prospects for Peace
[National Post-Canada] Robert Fulford - Khaled Abu Toameh, who used to work for the PLO newspaper Al-Fajr, was in Toronto last week. For the last eight years he's been the Jerusalem Post's specialist in Arab affairs. "I am an Arab Muslim and the only place I can write honestly is in a Jewish newspaper," he says. "The real obstacle to peace is not a Jew building a settlement but the failure of the Palestinians to have a government. Is there a partner on the Palestinian side for peace talks? No." He thinks Israel should simply wait until the Palestinians stop killing each other and create a credible political entity that can make a deal.
