Another fig leaf for deception


Hasan Abu Nimah, The Electronic Intifada, 4 September 2008

".....The Olmert plan -- apparently endorsed by Rice -- is not to be taken seriously. At best it will provide the participants with something to present at the UN gathering in September in order to pretend they made progress. It will also provide their successors with an empty process to latch on to, by which to evade their responsibilities for the plight of the Palestinians as all others have done before them.

Despite the fact that the new Olmert plan has been rejected by the Palestinian Authority, it is unlikely that more arm twisting will not occur at the UN General Assembly meetings in New York this month to get them to agree on a new "declaration of commitment" on Olmert's proposals."
