Thanks. To hope they would do it would be utopian. But I am under no such illusions. If they would refuse, as is 99.9% probable, I would simply like to see the consequences of their refusal. Besides, then people wouldn`t say "Refusing to talk to them is wrong." Israel could say - but we did talk to them, and told them what we really wanted to say! Want us to say it again?" My comment is about bargaining positions. Ask for the stars, and maybe get the moon, right? That`s been the PA strategy all these years. (Isn`t it `utopian` -from their P.O.V.- for HAMAS to refuse to recognize Israel, and keep robotically repeating "Kulhu Falestin", despite all it has lost by doing so?) I`m suggesting this may be the right long-term move; without expecting short-term political results from the PA... By the way, I suggest using a similar approach towards Syria. |
