This coming week in Annapolis Israeli and Arab politicians including Abbas will be meeting to discuss the prospects of peace. Israelis will be meeting with the same people who for decades have encouraged and promoted attacks against innocent civilians. News organizations over the internet radio television and print constantly bombard us with the sight of Arabs being stopped at security check points by Israeli security officials. We hear of the suffering of Arabs in 60 year old =93refugee camps.=94 Very rarely do we hear of the pli= ght of the Israeli families whose lives have been destroyed by Arab terror. Of children who are orphaned and of parents who have lost children. Of the people who have been saved by the security measures being used by the Israelis. Once the details of the dead are given no more do we hear of the plight of the Israeli families. We do not hear about the terror felt in Israeli cities such as Sederot and Ashkelon as they are bombarded on a daily basis by Arabs. We do not hear of the hundreds of thousands of Jews who were attacked and expelled from Arab countries in the years following Israel=92s independence. Mr. President if El Paso was being attacked by terrorists from Mexico would you talk peace with those terrorists. Is our country talking peace with Osama Bin Laden and Al Queida? The Al Queida are not interested in peace with us and neither are the Palestinian Arabs. Israel granted them autonomy in Jericho and other towns and settlements in the West Bank. Israel unilaterally withdrew its civilians and security forces from Gaza. Did the Arabs recognize this as a peace gesture? No! They have continued their war against our democratic ally. As they are asking the Israelis for =93confidence building measures=94 they kill innocent Israeli civilians. Until the Arabs demonstrate a desire for peace it is counter productive to offer any more concessions any more territory. Until the Arabs recognize their obligation and need to live along side Israel Annapolis 2007 will bear no better results than Munich Pact of 1938 or Oslo Agreement of 1993.
