Got that? They only want to "create" an "illusion" that any meaningful peace accord can be reached. (Shaking head ... but hey, it's not like I have ever believed in Israel).Q: So why all these games of make-believe negotiations? It’s possible to announce that we will not reach an agreement, and that is all.
YA’ALON: Because in the political establishment there are pressures. Peace Now from within and other elements from without. So you have to maneuver. But what I’m saying now has to be given over to the Americans, and I hope that they will understand.
Some of what we have to do is maneuver with the American administration and the European establishment, which are also nourished by Israeli elements, which create the illusion that an agreement can be reached.
H/T to Think Progress.
It was refreshing to read about the snub that Obama gave to the PM the other night, walking out and leaving him high and dry, at the White House, instead of having dinner with him. Obama's parting words: "Let me know if there is anything new."
