Israel and representatives of the P.A. have agreed to start implementation of the "new" "Gaza first" plan. Under this proposal, Israel is to withdraw its forces from and ease restrictions on certain areas (in this case, the Gaza Strip and Bethlehem), in exchange for a palestinian "crackdown on terrorists militants." (It's actually a good thing if the agreement says "militants" because everyone knows that there's no such thing as an Arab "terrorist" -- just "freedom fighters," "guerillas" and the occasional "militants," but no "terrorists."
Doesn't all this sound just a little bit familiar? Haven't we been down this road several dozens of times already? Do Jews suffer from some hidden genetic defect that impairs all higher memory function from operating in a crisis? This fiasco is scheduled to begin tomorrow. Maybe it's just a little birthday gag for Bill Clinton.
