Recovering from Oslo

End the delusion -Efraim Inbar

All current plans fail to address the main problem - Palestinian chaos.

Nurturing the national hopes of the dysfunctional Palestinian national movement will bring only further suffering to the Palestinians and their neighbors.

[T]he quest for peace and stability requires stopping the Palestinian experiment as soon as possible. Since Israel has no appetite for ruling unruly Palestinians, it is for Jordan and Egypt, both Arab, to contain the Palestinian national movement and rule over the Palestinians.

With PA fortunes at a low point, Israel should use its diplomatic resources to further weaken and delegitimize the hostile entity, rather than paying lip service to the two-state paradigm - a losing proposition.

[T]he Palestinian experiment started at Oslo has failed.

While perhaps there is more than a grain of truth here, it is a risky and unpalatable proposition. It lends credence to Iran's recent assertions that the "Israel experiment" founded by Westerners and imposed on their colonies because of the wrongs they themselves committed against the Jewish people in world war two, would have some kind of weirdly just foundation. No, for better or worse, if Israel is going to exist amongst the Arab community, then the Arab community is going to make Palestinians a part of Israel's great experiment. This is a line of thought that will not serve Israel, because it is a fantasy that they will not see. Better they should embrace the rights of peaceful Palestinians, and make it clear that the costs will continue to be high for any other factions.
