Some Tough Questions for Palestinians
[Ynet News] Moshe Elad - There is no doubt that America wishes to bring peace to Israel and the Palestinians. For 60 years, every "aggressive" round of talks started with making demands of the Israeli side and asking us to accommodate the Palestinians while gambling away our security. Perhaps the time has come for Obama to start the latest "round" with the Palestinians. Even Mahmoud Abbas, the leader of the Palestinian moderate camp, promises dwellers of Lebanese and Jordanian refugee camps that they will swiftly return to their homes. On the day where the Palestinians prove that they are no longer dreaming about a return to Haifa, Jaffa, the coastal plain's villages, and the Galilee they will find that the people of Israel are willing to support genuine territorial compromise. Col. (res.) Moshe Elad served as the head of security coordination with the PA in the Oslo Accord period.
