The news
this week is huge! The potential is tremendous:
Peace talks between the Israelis and Palestinians! This could be the greatest thing since
Chamberlain met with Hitler. I’ve been
so excited; I can hardly sleep at nights.
Never
mind the previous peace talks, so many now they can barely be numbered any
more. Never mind that, generally
speaking, the day after Israel makes a deal with the
Palestinians, she’s attacked or terrorized. Never mind that in 1948 the Palestinians
were offered a two state solution and they rejected it, opting instead for the
total annihilation of Israel. Never mind that this was also the stated goal
of the other surrounding Middle East countries, who constantly
butt into this “problem” taking their own personal interest in the “peace
talks.” Never mind that the “occupied territory” was land taken by Israel in defense when a bunch
of nations declared war on her in 1967. Never mind that everything we call
“occupied territory” today and everything we call Jordon and everything we call Israel
was all promised to the Jews under the Balfour Declaration early in the
Twentieth Century. Never mind that
behind the backs of the Jews, 75 percent of this land was sold to the
Arabs. Never mind that the remaining 25
percent was going to be split between the Jews (who figured a sliver of the
promise was better than nothing at all) and the Palestinians (who, as stated
already, rejected the deal). Never mind that
in their democratic` election, the Palestinians put the terrorist organization,
Hamas into power. Never mind that after Israel gave back the Gaza Strip,
missiles were fired from Gaza into Israel. Never mind the fact that Israel doesn’t show
up on maps in Palestinian schools and that little five year old Palestinian
children are taught to hate Jews in kindergarten classes and Sesame Street type TV shows. Never mind that America, under George Bush,
says she refuses to have relations with any country that harbors terrorism and
then we turn around and force Israel to do the very thing we will not do. Never mind that the only “peace agreements”
in the past have asked Israel to give back land but have never asked the
Palestinians to do a cotton picking’ thing except promise to stop murdering
Jews, a promise they break every time anyway.
Never mind
all that! You don’t want to be a
pessimist, do you? I’m sure this will
be a conference for the history books, a defining moment in time that provides peace
and tranquility for all. What a
jubilee! It brings a smile to my face
and a pace to my step. Oh, happy days
are here again.
