There are still many in the U.S. – and even in Israel – who do not understand the real lesson of the failure of Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas.

Many believe Abbas was sincerely trying to seek peace and compromise with Israel and was undercut by Yasser Arafat. That's the conventional wisdom. That's the view of the U.S. administration, still seeking to continue with its so-called "roadmap" to a Palestinian state as the solution to the conflict between Arabs and Israelis. That's the view of many in the U.S. Congress. And it's still the view of a number of Israeli leaders.

But it's simply not true. In fact, it's provably untrue.

I checked it on both Jewish and Palestinian propaganda sites
to be sure. Both are in the Phase one section. Notice the
bold language.

Security:


* Rebuilt and refocused Palestinian Authority security apparatus begins
sustained, targeted, and effective operations aimed at confronting all those
engaged in terror and dismantlement of terrorist capabilities and infrastructure.
This includes commencing confiscation of illegal weapons and consolidation
of security authority, free of association with terror and corruption.


Settlements:


* GOI immediately dismantles settlement outposts erected since March 2001.

* Consistent with the Mitchell Report, GOI freezes all settlement activity
(including natural growth of settlements).
