| `...Obama has criticized the Bush administration for overseeing unproductive talks between Israel and Hamas` secular Palestinian rivals, and pledged to find diplomatic "breakthroughs" if elected president.` Ismail Haniyeh will indeed get `a more balanced and neutral administration`, and there likely will be pressure on Israel to talk with Hamas. Is this bad? Not at all. If you`re truly sincere about achieving peace - and of course, Israel always says it is - you need to talk with your enemies. George Bush has mollycoddled Israel, allowing Israel to reject talks with its foes, and radicalising the Palestinians. Barack Obama will tell the Israelis to pull up a chair with Haniyeh and start talking. We`ll see just how sincere the Israelis are then. Remember, Barack Obama says it`s OK to be supporter of Israel without buying the Likud line (or the line from former Likudniks). This should be fun. MV |
