Did not Koheles said "There is nothing new under the sun"? The present negotiations between Israel and the Arabs are a repeat of Oslo and resemble Munich: Give Checoslovakia to Hitler and we will have peace in our time. 50 million people including 6 million Jews (my grandmother, my aunt and her husband and other relatives among them) had to die to prove the concept was wrong. The Arabs are saying what they plan to do and the West prefers to ignore these statements the same way Mein Kampf was ignored as well as the teaching given to the German younger generation.
