Does the Palestinian Leadership Want Peace with Israel?
(Jerusalem Post) Alan Baker - In all likelihood, the international community is confused and fatigued by the unending Palestinian attempts to gain attention, faced as it is with the massive threats of ISIS terror, the ongoing war in Syria, tension between Russia and Ukraine and other major crises. It is high time that the Palestinian leadership put its house in order, and decide whether they want peace with Israel or constant, unending tension and violence. It is also high time that the Palestinian leadership chooses to invest the considerable funding it receives to serve the needs and interests of the Palestinian public rather than wasting funds on senseless political and public relations exercises and expensive travel for the sole purpose of perpetuating conflict and Palestinian victimhood.
