Supporting peace education in the PA? | Jerusalem Post

How can a country be asked t "make peace" with a country?(no)/nation?(no)/collection of clans brought together by politics(yes) like the Palestinians, who continue to print textbooks that demonize Israel and challenge its right to exist? Is Abbas that much better than Hamas, or just a more human, dishonest face? Supporting peace education in the PA? | Jerusalem Post. Is a people that educates its children like this ready for anything other than a failed state that will further destabilize the Middle East and lead to even more suffering? If the Sunni "moderates and the US want to achieve something productive vis a vis the Palestinian issue they should push Jordanian confederation with the Palestinians on an interim (one generation?) trusteeship model, and call upon the Palestinians to begin preparing their people, starting with their children, to accept Israel's existence and stop the absolutist, uncompromising mentality that is so much a problem of the pre-modern, Islamic religion.
