| Hattip Best of the Web You can only access these links if you fill out the free registration for the Wall Street Journal's OpinionJournal, but following is a quote courtesy of BotW. link1 link2 link3 From Best of the Web: A former mayor of Jerusalem, Olmert has contributed several op-ed pieces to The Wall Street Journal, which you can read here, here and here. In September 2003, after Israel's cabinet decided to expel terror honcho Yasser Arafat*, he wrote: If Palestinian voices of moderation are capable of rising up and making themselves heard over the extremist roar, all Israelis will be very willing to continue the path toward peace. But for the moment we will place our trust in our own ability to confront the terrorists directly. And as the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashana, approaches, tradition dictates that we review past mistakes and try sincerely to repent. The Oslo decade has shown us what is the incorrect and foolhardy way to try to make peace between Arabs and Jews. Armed with this new clarity, we can now attempt to rectify our errors--and set out down a safer, better-calculated road. Israel never carried out the expulsion, and Arafat is now dead, but it remains highly doubtful that "Palestinian voices of moderation are capable of rising up." * Arafat won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1994. |
