Today yet another so-called Mideast Peace Summit begins. It’s been a few years since a U.S. President has attempted to see something like this through, but it hasn’t been long enough that I have forgotten the previous results and so I will go out on a limb here today *coughs* and predict the outcome.
Nothing good.
Muslim Arabs are coming to the table and what will they seek? I’ll tell you simply enough. The sheiks will seek to grab back land that they lost to the Israelis in wartime after Egypt and Syria were shamed into full retreat from what they had hoped would be genocidal victory against the Jews. Should this land be given back? Absolutely not. Might it be? In the atmosphere of today’s limp-wristed, do-right, Dhimmi-fide political appeasers — it just might happen.
Muslim Arabs will also come away with monetary concessions and back-room oil deals, stock exchanges and promises of more free reign for Islamic schooling in Western nations.
Muslim Arabs will give practically nothing in return for anything they are given; other than hollow promises for peace that they will break at the most convenient opportunity. If there are still people in the West that actually believe that the vast majority of Muslim Arabs do not hate Jews and want to see Israel wiped from the face of the Earth, then I have large tracts of swampy land in Louisiana to sell.
There never was a Palestine. Building a nation for a false tribe of terrorists will bring the world nothing more than more fear, hatred, terrorism and Islamic dogma. Appeasing the Muslim world and building Palestine will be a massive mistake by politicos that seem intent on wallowing in good intentions at the cost of facts, wisdom and the safety of our collective future.
President George W. Bush is adept at chasing windmills. The poison in his ear from the Saudis must have reached his brain long ago.
Some details of the conference from CNN:
WASHINGTON – With a Mideast summit starting Tuesday in Maryland, Israeli and Palestinian officials worked late into the night trying to hammer out a joint agreement on how negotiations would move forward, diplomats from several delegations said.
But the two sides have not agreed on several issues and there was no guarantee that any work plan would be agreed upon, the diplomats said.
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was cautious but hopeful the parties could finish an agreement, diplomats said.
But Hamas leader Ismail Haniya denounced the Annapolis summit in a televised address Tuesday.
“The Palestinian people will not be bound by anything the Palestinian Authority agrees to in Annapolis,” he said.
Israeli and Palestinian leaders on Monday expressed hope and optimism that a renewed peace effort will emerge from the conference.
Hours apart, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas spoke to reporters alongside President Bush, following separate talks at the White House.
Abbas said he hoped the conference would trigger expanded negotiations with Israel that would lead to a permanent peace deal, calling the event a “historic initiative.”
Olmert explained to reporters that this visit was different “because we’re going to have lots of participants involved.”
“I hope we’re going to launch a serious process of negotiations between us and the Palestinians,” said Olmert. “This will be a bilateral process but the international support is very important.”
Representatives of more than 40 countries, including a wide array of Arab nations such as Syria and Saudi Arabia, will attend the conference at the U.S. Naval Academy.
Monday night, Bush, Olmert and Abbas attended a dinner held by Rice.
In a toast at the dinner, Bush said Israeli and Palestinian leaders would need to make “difficult compromises” in order to achieve a breakthrough during the summit but gave his personal commitment to a renewed peace process between the two sides.
“The extremists and terrorists want our efforts to fail,” Bush said. “We offer a more hopeful vision of a Middle East growing in freedom and dignity and prosperity.”
The Bush administration is hoping the conference will trigger final status talks on major issues such as Jerusalem and Israeli borders.
U.S. officials are looking for a commitment by the Palestinians and Israelis to carry out previous agreements linked to the “road map” plan for Mideast peace.

This is what comes of believing that peace can be acheived by any means other than through victory.
Munich, 1938 of the 21st century. Only this time the carrcass will gladly take part in its own carving thanks to Idiot Olmert.
Am I banned on 1389?
Mass deportation of Muslims from all non-Muslim countries, especially Israel, is the ONLY alternative to remaining on the receiving end of this ongoing war of extermination. Massive riots in Paris again. Charles Johnson should be forced to serve on the Paris police force for the rest of his life!
Ill take that as a yes
