Jerome Segal writes that if Israel does not grab this last chance opportunity to "deal" with Mahmoud Abbas, there will be no moderates of stature left standing. Assuming that Mahmoud Abbas is a "moderate," then what will happen when Mahmoud Abbas (who will be seventy-two years old next month), dies or becomes incapacitated? What Jerome Segal appears to be telling us, is that when Abbas goes, so goes the peace process. Should the Jews of Israel trust their fate to the good health and survival of one seventy-two year old man?
