Alpher - Who Else?

Who holds this opinion?

Because Israel and Palestine are more than neighbors — because they are almost Siamese twins, difficult and dangerous to separate — it seems inevitable that, despite the barriers of ideology and antisemitism, despite Hamas's refusal to recognize Israel and Israel's refusal to talk to bigots who don't recognize it, eventually the two will simply have to talk.

Somewhere deep down in its Islamist psyche, Hamas understands that running the government of Palestine means dealing with the Jews next door in an equitable and civilized manner.


Yossi Joseph Alpher.

As Jonathan Tobin wrote:

It was bound to happen. As soon as Hamas won the Palestinian legislative elections, "moderates" were discovered in their midst.

We Jews are our own worst enemy.
