EU's Solana comes to push for 'peace'

Like the rest of the world, the European Union is determined to see Israel relinquish its right to its ancient homeland, enabling a hitherto unknown 'State of Palestine' to be established in Judea, Samaria and Gaza in the hope this will lead to peace.

The EU's foreign policy pusher, Javier Solana, seeing in this past week's diplomatic flurry a renewed chance to achieve that goal, jumped over to Jerusalem Friday with the reported intention of trying to pressure Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert into meeting with Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas.

Solana's hope is that such a get-together will lead to "both sides" taking confidence-building measures that will help them get back to the Quartet's Road Map.

Since 1991, Israeli governments have taken numerous of these "risks-for-peace," at the cost of well over 1,000 Jewish lives, the hammering of its economy, and the disintegration of its deterrennce.

The Arab side, howevewr, has taken no risks, and made enormous gains for sticking to it guns and its false claims.

For the nations of the world, and for Solana, the price of pain Israel has had to pay this far is irrelevant.

Nothing must stand in the way of "peace."
