Dahlan Task Force for Israel

"Ghaith al-Omari, a former Abbas aide who is advocacy director for the American Task Force on Palestine, said, "The situation is so complicated that no matter what approach the administration would have taken would have led to difficulties." He said that things have improved in the past nine months, including getting a reluctant Israeli government to embrace the idea of talks. Negotiations will begin eventually, he said, because the Obama administration has signaled that it will not waver in pursuit of direct talks." It seems that Dahlanists are the only ones who are seeing improvements. Also, are you aware that this Dahlan Task Force for Israel holds this position: It is for the boycott of Hamas but is vehemently against the boycott of Israel. What does that tell you?
