Ya'alon: No Real Peace Without End to Palestinian Incitement
(Israel Hayom) "If I open a PA textbook and see that Israel doesn't appear on the map, or that Tel Aviv is designated as a settlement, and when a 3-year-old boy is brought up to admire suicide bombers - you can sign any agreement and in the end it will blow up in your face," Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Monday. Speaking about prospects for peace with the Palestinians, Ya'alon said, "We're ready to begin the process immediately without preconditions, and discuss all the issues....We don't want to rule the Palestinians. We're ready to advance the diplomatic process, which Abbas is avoiding by setting preconditions. We are unwilling to pay a price just for them to come to the table." Ya'alon added, "We are being attacked over the issue of settlements. If we're talking about peace and coexistence, why are the Palestinians demanding territory free of Jews?"
