"MR. PIPES: No, they do not have to become lovers of Zion, but they do have to permanently accept it. They must overhaul their education system to take out the demonization of Jews in Israel. They should tell the truth about Jewish ties to Jerusalem, stop inculcating hatred of Jews, and accept normal commercial, cultural and human relations with Israelis. … "

Dr Pipes, how does that make one lose and the other win!! The way you put it makes no winner and both parties are even. Am I right to say that you ,Dr Pipes, are embracing the Arab peace innitiative, because it is all about your paragraph above..!

Thanks dearly..

Daniel Pipes replies:

For Arabs to make these changes would be to acknowledge that they lost the effort to eliminate Israel.
