No Room for Jews in Israel
Reality check #1: There were fair and free elections among the so-called Palestinian people. The winner, in a landslide, was Hamas. Only a single precinct went for Fatah. So the true and legitimate voice of the so-called Palestinian people is Hamas.
Reality check #2: Hamas tell the truth. It's a relief to hear, from the Muslim/Arab world, such, er, honest straight talk. Even if it is frankly and boastfully genocidal. One has only to read the Hamas Covenant to understand that their aim is the annihilation of the "Zionist entity", the imposition of Sharia and the elimination of Jews from, well, the face of the earth.
That Israel is negotiating with Holocaust denier Mahmoud Abbas, President of Fatah, President of, er, Nothingness, is just proof that Israel and the West are in denial of a terrible reality.
Reality check #3: The Arab/Israeli conflict is not about land, it's certainly not a regional conflict. Rather, it's an existential religious conflict where the Islamic world has declared war on Judaism.
The guest list at Annapolis proved this beyond a shadow of a doubt, for no one in their right mind believes that, say the Saudis, Algerians, Mauritanians or the charming Sudanese really give a crap about the so-called Palestinians. Annapolis was a ghastly check-list of Muslim/Arab tyrants who refuse to recognize Israel as a sovereign state, Muslim/Arab nations that are Judenrein, Muslim/Arab nations that make genocidal war on their own citizens, Muslim/Arab nations, that given the opportunity, would wipe Israel off the face of the earth.
Yes, here gathered in one hall was a rogues gallery of Muslim/Arab tyrants and Ehud Olmert and Tzipi Livni were begging for their blood-soaked handshakes.
How degrading for the Jewish people.
Well, at least Hamas are here to, um, speak honestly. They don't even bother to claim to be merely anti-Zionist and not anti-Jewish.
Reality check #4: How to defeat Hamas.
Hamas, the true and democratically elected representative of the so-called Palestinian people, are proud Jew-haters.
Hamas on Thursday called on the UN to rescind the 1947 decision to partition Palestine into two states, one for Jews and one for Arabs.
The group said in a statement, released on the 60th anniversary of the UN vote, that "Palestine is Arab Islamic land, from the river to the sea, including Jerusalem... there is no room in it for the Jews."

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
I'd argue that the Fatah people were also pretty honest in denying that Israel is a Jewish state.
The Balfour Declaration, the Mandate for Palestine, and everything that has been based upon them, are deemed null and void. Claims of historical or religious ties of Jews with Palestine are incompatible with the facts of history and the true conception of what constitutes statehood. Judaism, being a religion, is not an independent nationality. Nor do Jews constitute a single nation with an identity of its own; they are citizens of the states to which they belong.

Is it possible the Israelis were eager to come for the talks for the refreshments. Let's face it, we've all suffered through some horrible meetings just to get the coffee and donuts.
Or is it more like going to a sibling's piano recital even though everyone knows he stinks, but your parents will kill you if you don't go and after all, you want that Red Rider BB gun for Hanukah.
I invite all the other Seraphic friends to come up with some other true-to-life metaphors here.

Yeah, but the Israelis walked away w/o a Chanukah gift.

Soccer Dad:
Absolutely true. And as you know, I argue over and over again (I am tedious, I confess) that there is no difference between Fatah and Hamas, save tactics. However, Fatah do play the "Hey, I'm the moderate on the block" game. They are, of course, serial liars, like their mentor Arafat, but they play the diplomatic game. And Abbas does wear bespoke Saville Row suits so he looks civilized.

Tzipi Livni went to Annapolis for the great shopping malls nearby. Let's face it. She's having a severe fashion melt-down in the face of settler intrangience--they refuse to recognize her plan for a greater Bikini Israel-- and so she attended in order to get in some fabulous pre-Christmas bargains.

Excellent, concise. Point 3 is especially important and frequently over-looked. Egypt & Jordan have obvious regional interests but the rest of the Islamic World. It's almost as if the Brits & Irish had invited the largely Catholic Philipines had been treated as a "stake-holder" in the Northern Ireland negotiations. Great piece.

Thanks so much for your articulate comment. Great point about Catholic Philippines being treated as stake-holders in N. Ireland negotiations.
Why didn't I think of that?
I will next time:)
