The UAE Deal Is a Test for Those Who Support Peace
(Los Angeles Jewish Journal) David Suissa - The forces of darkness in the Middle East are panicking. One of the most powerful Arab countries in the world has made peace with the dreaded Zionist enemy. In the long run, any model based on lies and manufactured hatred is not sustainable. At some point, people wake up. People have to eat and make a living. People have to envision a better future. The UAE woke up. In fact, its leaders woke up a while ago. The difference is that now, they're not hiding it. They're telling the world and the people of the region: Israel is not our enemy. Israel doesn't want to invade us. Israel has a lot to offer. This is an earthquake, a call to Israel's Arab neighbors to look to the future rather than the past. But the past will not go down without a fight. The UAE, a monarchy aiming to modernize, has shattered the model of the Palestinian conflict as the key to progress in the Middle East. If anything, the conflict has been the biggest obstacle to progress.
