IMRA Weekly Commentary..
22 August '13..
We are in the middle of a nightmare.
Most of which is most definitely not of our doing.
Though our own mistakes (retreat from Gaza, etc.) haven't helped matters.
And what a nightmare it is.
When I started to write this commentary I intended to simply suggest that it was important that future policy makers never forget this harrowing period.
But what about those currently engaged in advocating and setting policy? Are they already ignoring what has been unfolding before our eyes?
Consider this:
+ There are still people who advocate transferring control and responsibility for the Gaza Strip to Egypt.
+ There are still people who want the West Bank to be somehow tied to Jordan.
+ There are efforts to come up with a package of various American guarantees with the idea that American promises could substitute for Israel's requirement that Israeli security forces rather than third parties play a dominant and crucial role in the security provisions of a Palestinian-Israeli agreement,
Yes. Even as we experience the nightmare there are those who simply refuse to let reality interfere with their agenda.

At least no one is currently suggesting returning the Golan to Syria.
