Whose Burden in the Mideast?
To the Editor:
Re “A Real Test for the Palestinians’’ (editorial, Sept. 18):
The Israeli-Palestinian peace talks in 2000, operating under the assumption that Israel will concede one-sidedly and unendingly under the threat of terror, resulted not in peace but in an intifada.
President Bush has been clear that he supports peace talks, but only when terror is off the table and all are operating in the true search for peaceful coexistence.
Hamas’s refusal to renounce terror is consistent with its taking control of Gaza a year ago and using it only as a launching pad for missiles.
It must renounce terror and show commitment to peaceful coexistence before negotiations can hope to be successful.
