[Jerusalem Post] Barry Rubin - Is there a window of opportunity for Israel-Palestinian peace right now? True, Abbas is less extreme than Arafat, but he is far weaker. He himself has reportedly admitted that his regime cannot stop terrorist attacks on Israel from the territory it supposedly controls. Fatah is so fossilized, factionalized and corrupt that it is incapable of changing course. Nor does most of the leadership want it to. They would prefer to steal aid money rather than use it effectively. And they don't want to be considered traitors to the cause by pursuing moderation. Thus, there is no chance of their agreeing to a peace accord ending the conflict. Politicians should not making fools of themselves by racing around to create peace blueprints, conferences and financial give-aways which will fail in a humiliating manner, and they should not pretend that Abbas is a great man of peace or that Fatah is a collection of moderates. 2007-08-14 01:00:00Full Article
