No to the Peace that Amos Oz Wants. This is the most famous Israeli poseur/charlatan, Amos Oz: "Instead of Israeli disengagement - bound to leave many issues open and bleeding - we can work with Egypt and Saudi Arabia for a lasting peace." Things have not changed. Back in the 1960s, Israeli government offered to deal with the Palestinians by not dealing with them (through dealing with Jordan). Now, this darling of the US left, offers to deal with the Palestinians by not dealing with them (through Egypt and Saudi Arabia) as if they speak for Palestinians. Notice that this darling of the US left is not bothered by dealing with Saudi Arabia--darling of the Israeli left, I guess. Any peace that Amos Oz wants is a peace that I categorically reject.
