The Palestinians Want Peace?
(Gatestone Institute) Khaled Abu Toameh - It would be difficult for the PA to return to the negotiating table with Israel after the massive campaign it has launched to promote a boycott of Israel. The latest PLO and Fatah campaign is not directed only against settlement products. Rather, it is targeting anything that is made in Israel. Other such measures by the "anti-normalization" movement seek to thwart any encounters between Israelis and Palestinians, including sports matches and peace conferences. So while some Israelis, Americans and Europeans are talking about the need to revive the peace process after the March 17 elections in Israel, the Palestinians are clearly moving in a different direction.
