One of the most important, but most-overlooked aspects of the meeting between Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli students last month was an exchange about whether Jews could reside in a future Palestinian state, just as Arabs are citizens of Israel.  Abbas replied: "You cannot compare the Arabs who live in Israel now, who have been living here for thousands of years, with the settlers, who came yesterday or today."

Welcoming Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas to the White House on March 17, President Obama declared that "He has been somebody who has consistently renounced violence."  Anyone who follows the news from the Middle East knows that Abbas regularly glorifies and encourages violence. Yet here was the president of the United States telling the public the opposite. How does Abbas get away with it?

Why are most Israelis reluctant to create a Palestinian state in the Judea-Samaria (West Bank) territories?  The interception on March 6 of the Iranian weapons ship bound for Gaza answers that question more clearly than any scholar's book or politician’s speech ever could.

Hidden underneath sacks of Iranian-made cement on that ship were dozens of M-302 surface-to-surface rockets with ranges of 50 to 100 miles. Note: the distance from Gaza to Tel Aviv is 43 miles.
