From Kris at CUNY: "I
don't usually read the Washington Post, but the lies and deception put forward
in this editorial are very revealing. The editors trivialise Israeli settlements
in the West Bank by (wrongly) claiming that they are confined "almost
entirely to areas that both sides expect Israel to annex". They
use the infamous Palestine Papers as evidence to argue that the Palestinians—via
the corrupt and collaborationist PA—have happily conceded settlements around
Jerusalem (!!!). Then we're given some crocodile tears about the civilians
("including many Palestinians") being killed in Syria before closing in
brilliant fashion by blaming Abu Mazen's "intransigence" for the last four years
of deadlock because he dares to (timidly) ask Israel for a settlement
freeze!"
