Seems that this “summit” between Olmert and Abbas won’t take place after all. As summit fans will recall, Olmert was to meet his good friend Abbas in Palestinian territory as a “gesture of honor.” Previous “summits” between Olmert and well-dressed thugs took place in Jerusalem.

Please see my previous blog here titled “Jacob Bows to Esau.”

Olmert didn’t cancel. He’s always ready to be “generous” with Jewish land. (Next? Syria.)

Abbas cancelled because, to put it plainly, Olmert refused to surrender. Capitulate? Yes. Painful confessions? You bet. Any time.

But not painful enough. So Abbas said no, no deal. Abbas wants everything. So does Condi.

In Condi’s view, apparently it’s all occupied territory. How British!

Condi is not happy at all about this turn of events. She doesn’t blame Abbas for the postponement. Of course not. She blames Olmert. Condi had this lovely plan. Olmert and Abbas were to meet, to summit, once every two weeks so that in time, Olmert might buckle and warm to the idea of providing the Palestinian Arabs with “a beautiful house.”

I caught this phrase in today’s New York Times – “a beautiful house.” Those are her words and that’s her vision. Israel is to create paradise not for itself but for Condi’s “Palestine.” Anything short of that is Israel’s fault. The Palestinian Arabs have no responsibilities, nothing to concede, nothing to build, nothing to contribute. They have nothing to do but wait to be served, utopia on a platter.

But – this “beautiful house” was already offered up, completely furnished, namely, Gaza. Here there were roads, schools, businesses, greenhouses, gardens, neighborhoods and above all, prosperity and peace. This was the house the Jews built, truly beautiful, and then the Israeli government came along, evicted these Israelis, brought in the Arabs, who immediately tore everything down and turned the place into a dump.

That’s what happened to that beautiful house, and now Condi wants more beautiful houses to be turned over. Where’s the logic? Don’t ask.

We know what America does to terrorists. (Properly and correctly so.) We shackle them and house them at Gitmo.

Now there, in a beautiful house like Gitmo, that’s where Abbas and his followers belong as a “gesture of honor.”
