Two-state solution is an Arab wish too

AFTER READING Jeff Jacoby's column "Peace isn't Arab goal," it became clear that the columnist was either ignorant of important facts about the Arab-Israel conflict or intentionally deceiving the public. He claims the entire world is for a two-state solution except "the Arabs," but never mentions the fact that the Arab Peace Initiative calls for a two-state solution. The initiative was adopted not only by the Arab League, which includes all Arab states, but was affirmed by the Organization of the Islamic Conference, which includes all Muslim states, even Iran. Jacoby goes on to cite that the charters of Hamas and Fatah call for Israel's destruction, but he has never read, or has conveniently ignored, the Israeli prime minister's Likud Party charter, which explicitly opposes the creation of a Palestinian state anywhere in the West Bank and Gaza.
