How Ironic...
Is it only me or is it extremely ironic that today's summit in Annapolis falls exactly 60 years to the week from the original UN partition plan? This much have a deeper meaning than can be seen at first glance...

Olmert: I'm Willing to Give Fatah Weapons - News Briefs - Arutz Sheva
Olmert: I'm Willing to Give Fatah Weapons - News Briefs - Arutz Sheva
(IsraelNN.com) Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has informed the chairman of the terrorist Palestinian Authority (PA) that Israel is willing to supply guns to the Fatah terror group.
NRG reports that Olmert has already given his word to Egyptian President Mubarak and to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas that "Israel would be willing to transfer weapons to Fatah, subject to recommendations by US General Keith Dayton who is in charge of this matter." he leaders are currently meeting in Sharm El-Sheikh in the Sinai Peninsula.
Fatah routinely carries out attacks against Israeli civilians. A recent attack that was carried out with Fatah involvement was the January 29th suicide attack in Eilat that killed three innocents.
Ok, hold on, stop the tape, where did I hear this before???
Isn't it interesting how history repeats itself? As Santayana said, "those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it."

"Stop being afraid. There is no danger that these guns will be used against us. The purpose of this ammunition for the Palestinian police is to be used in their vigilant fight against the Hamas. They won't dream of using it against us, since they know very well that if they use these guns against us once, at that moment the Oslo Accord will be annulled and the IDF will return to all the places that have been given to them. The Oslo Accord, despite what the opposition claims, is not irrevocable." -Yitzchak Rabin

Gaza - The next Iran...
I think that the only "logical" result of the new Islamic State of Gaza (and Hizballah in Lebanon) is to pressure Israel into evacuating more territory and hoping that the resulting vacuum pulls in more friendly radical Islamist Al Quaeda types....I have already heard of reports from Gaza Arabs saying that they WISH Israel was back there!!! "Oh, how things used to be so nice when Israel was around"...
The repercussions of this are very serious and far reaching. It is already spreading to the "West Bank" and its only a matter of time before it effects the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt!
What is mind boggling is that: number one, the whole Israeli cabinet is on summer vacation and out of the country (Olmert, Peretz and Livni), and number two, PM Olmert is trying to put good old Ehud Barak back in charge (as Defense Minister)! Do they not realize that it was his unilateral withdrawal from Southern Lebanon, in the middle of the night, scheme that started all this in the first place? Do they not remember "Intifada I" when Rabin was out of the country and by the time he got back it was out of control? Where are peoples memories??? I keep having flashbacks of Dori from Finding Nemo...
Likewise, I have no words to express my dismay over Peres becoming Israel's 9th president...other than, A: He lost yet again (in the first round) and maybe they put him there just so he would keep his big nose (no, that was not an anti-semitic slur) out of real politics! Wishful thinking...I'm sure that this will come back to bite us in the end..:-(
