Is Israel Talking to Hamas?
In a speech on Monday, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas revealed that Swiss President Micheline Calmy-Rey had told him that Israel and Hamas have been holding secret talks in Switzerland. According to Abbas, they have been discussing a proposal in which Israel would agree to the establishment of a Palestinian state within temporary borders in exchange for a 15-year long ceasefire. The news was met with virtual silence - no confirmations, no denials, no outrage in the press. Nada. Nothing. Have we become so morally numb that negotiating with murderers no longer infuriates us? It is simply unconscionable that Israel would talk with an organization dedicated to its destruction, one that is actively engaged in terror attacks against the Jewish state on an ongoing basis. Unconscionable, and pointless too. After all, as the failed Oslo Accords demonstrated all too well, talking with with terrorists only adds fuel to the flames.
