Why It Would Be a Catastrophe to Solve the Arab-Israel Conflict

(Rael Jean Isaac- The American Thinker)

There is no more widely believed proposition in world politics today than that solving the Arab-Israel conflict would contribute to world peace as nothing else could. It doesn’t matter where you stand on the conflict. Republicans and Democrats, Western European democratic leaders and Arab despots, the EU, the UN, Israeli leaders, Jews of the world - for all of them, solving the Arab-Israel conflict is the holy grail.
Merely to breathe life into the hope suffices to win a Nobel Peace Prize. No other conflict has garnered so many prizes. The first went to Ralph Bunche in 1950 for working on the Arab-Israel armistice that produced the Green Line, Israel’s de facto border until 1967. In 1978 Sadat and Begin received the prize for Camp David and the peace treaty with Egypt (in practice, another armistice, given Egypt’s failure to honor most of its provisions). In 1994 it went to Arafat, Peres and Rabin for bringing peace via Oslo.

I lean to the right but I still have a heart and if I have a mission it is to respond to attacks on people not available to protect themselves and to point out the hypocrisy of the left at every opportunity.MY MAJOR GOAL IS HIGHLIGHT THE HYPOCRISY AND STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTISTS ON TORONTO CITY COUNCIL. Last word: In the final analysis this blog is a relief valve for my rants/raves.
