Peace with Islam is impossible. Peace with Palestinians is possible. Any attempt to make peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians that does not start from that understanding is doomed to fail.
The West must begin to shed its misconceptions about what the conflict is about.
~~~
After a few years of benign neglect, Israel is back on the itineraries of well-meaning foreign emissaries. Former British prime minister Tony Blair visited the country in July in his new role as special envoy of the Quartet of Middle East peacemakers. Earlier this month, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrived.
Each visit was concluded with a news conference at which promises of progress were made. But before any lasting on-the-ground movement toward peace can be achieved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, foreign emissaries, as well as some Israelis, will have to shake off some long-disproved tenets of the conventional wisdom about the dispute.
