The fallacy that won't die

Can you guess what it is?
There is one set of U.S. policies that would impact positively on developments in Egypt and elsewhere and draw the collective breath of the Arab street: a determined, pro-active, aggressive effort to achieve a breakthrough in Israeli- Palestinian peace negotiations. The Obama administration is already on record as committed to this goal; two years of sustained effort without results prove the need for a more coherent and encompassing strategy.Yes, of course. Egypt will choose a government that is less hostile to the United States, if only the United States will deliver a denuded and defenseless Israel on a silver platter.
The time is right for agile, creative and sustained U.S. peace diplomacy. American-led advances in the peace process will not determine the future of Arab democracy, but such activity will reassert the U.S.’s leadership role in the one area where its influence can make a difference.
What could go wrong?

Dan Kurtzer overlooks the fact the Palestinians are uninterested in making peace with Israel.
And no amount of brutal Israeli government assaults, beatings and shootings of revananters and the demolition of their homes will change this truth.
Not in our lifetime.
