PA: Bush's dream of Palestine in 2008 won't happen

PLO/PA 'Prime Minister' Salaam Fayad has publicly stated his belief that US President George W. Bush's hope to see a Palestinian state established this year will not happen.

According to reports in the Israeli press Friday, Fayad made his prediction during a visit to Texas, Bush's home state.

It comes exactly a month after the American leader visited to Israel to give an unpresidential shove to the long-ago-discredited land-for-peace process.

Fayad cited Israel's failure to uproot Jews from Samaria and Judea, and the IDF's ongoing war on Arab terror in those same areas as the main obstacles to achieving peace.

Israel maintains the obstacles are the violent Arab sides' unabated antisemitism, its hatred of Jews and its unrelenting steeping of young "Palestinians" in this same hatred while terrorism rages unchecked.

Since June 24, 2002, when he first unveiled his dream of "two states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security," Bush has made securing an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement one of the primary goals of his now rapidly-expiring presidency.

It is an agreement for which the American expects Israel to pay in the hard currency of its historical heartland while the Arab side simply has to make a few commitments it can easily break, as it historically always has.

Millions of Israel's Christian friends worldwide have and are praying that this dream will never become a reality.

These supporters of the small Jewish state, which lives under constant threat from many of the world's 22 Arab states and daily weathers terrorist onslaughts from the Palestinian Arabs, know that the pursuit of the land-for-peace process has only further endangered Israel's security.

And they have no doubt that the realization of Bush's vision would amount to nothing less than a gamble with Israel's very existence.
