Gesture to Arabs

NYT reported Israel should stop work on a security barrier in and along the West Bank and halt settlement activity there as a good-will gesture

It would make it much easier for the Palestinians to do what they love best: Killing Joozzz.

to assure Arab states that it is serious about comprehensive peace talks, Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister said yesterday.

How about the arabs making a good will gesture and stop shooting rockets into Israel, and stop sending suicide bombers.

The minister, Prince Saud al-Faisal, stopped short of making his demand a condition for Arab attendance at a planned Middle East peace conference. And he said that in recent days, he had become encouraged about the prospects for the conference, which the United States is to sponsor in November. But he would not promise that Saudi Arabia would attend, a major Israeli objective.

That is because he knows the effort is fruitless.
