Hear hear! 

The largest problem in the middle east today is the unwillingness of people
to talk to one another. The Isreali's (Likud in particular) must realise
that no matter how hard they try, the Palestinians are not about to
disappear. The Palestinians, through King Hussain and Mubarak, and yes -
even through Arafat - ARE willing to talk - if anyone will talk to them. The
policy of not negotiating "PUBLICLY" (we all know that there have ALWAYS
been under the table discussions between the US and PLO ... didn't Andrew
Young's being booted have something to do with that?) is merely a front
which the current administration is using to hide its pro-Isreali,
anti-Palestinian stance.

If Mr. Abeles, and others with his hear-no-evil, see-no-evil, speak-no-evil, 
stop-no-evil point-of-view, continue to be "in-control" of the situation
(whatever chaotic form of control that  may be), there will be no resolution.
This is great for those who are unwilling to live and let live - and let the
middle east once again regain its natural splendor. Unfortunately there are
many who are unwilling to give the Palestinians the same consideration the
Jews (read Zionists) were given when such "terrorist" acts as the bombing of
the King David Hotel (by that gem of a human being - Begin) were overlooked
to speed the formation of Israel.
