Bret Stephens: The Settlements Aren't the Problem - WSJ.com

Bret Stephens: The Settlements Aren't the Problem - WSJ.com: "The Palestinians' beef with Israel isn't territorial—it's existential." And the problem with all peace efforts to date is that they try to pretend otherwise, which leads to the continuous call for more and more one-sided concessions by Israel, as the Palestinians get a free pass on what they are expected to do. A Jewish state of Israel is not just politcally anathema to the Arab world, but very deeply religiously anathema. The sooner we realize this and speak openly of it, the sooner we can truly deal with this situation.
