"Just a day after Israeli and Palestinian leaders at the Annapolis peace conference pledged to negotiate a peace treaty by the end of 2008, Mahmoud Abbas's Palestinian Authority continues to paint a picture for its people of a world without Israel.

Dit is er een voorbeeld van dat de mooie woorden op vredesconferenties vaak ver van de werkelijkheid verwijderd zijn. Tot nu toe won de werkelijkheid; misschien zou Abbas echt kunnen proberen wat te veranderen wat dit betreft, maar dan moet hij daar wel toe aangezet worden. Olmert sprak in zijn speech in het geheel niet van de ophitsing tegen Israël in de Arabische media, en Bush maakte er ook geen punt van, dus hoe kan Abbas weten dat dit een probleem is voor hun?
Wat hij wel weet is dat het voor de extremisten een probleem zal zijn als ze er niet mee door mogen gaan, en zelf vindt hij wellicht ook wel dat de Palestijnen eigenlijk recht hebben op het hele land; hij vindt sowieso dat miljoenen vluchtelingen naar Israël moeten kunnen immigreren en heeft er ook erg veel moeite mee Israël een Joodse staat te noemen.

Just a day after Israeli and Palestinian leaders at the Annapolis peace conference pledged to negotiate a peace treaty by the end of 2008, Mahmoud Abbas's Palestinian Authority continues to paint a picture for its people of a world without Israel.
An information clip produced by the Palestinian Authority Central Bureau of Statistics and rebroadcast today on Abbas-controlled Palestinian television, shows a map in which Israel is painted in the colors of the Palestinian flag, symbolizing Israel turned into a Palestinian state.
The description of all of the state of Israel as "Palestine" is not coincidental, and is part of a formal, systematic educational approach throughout the Palestinian Authority. This uniform message of a world without Israel is repeated in school books, children's programs, crossword puzzles, video clips, formal symbols, school and street names, etc. The picture painted for the Palestinian population, both verbally and visually, is of a world without Israel.
The fact that this campaign continues before the ink on the Annapolis agreement is even dry appears to contradict the central promise of the Palestinians at the Annapolis conference: that Israel has a right to exist.
