Hasan Abu Nimah on the "Peace Process":
"The peace process industry have now transferred their attention to US President Barack Obama. They continue to scrutinize every "helpful" gesture or insignificant "move," reading into them mountains of hope and expectation -- while any much clearer and more pronounced indications that there will be no change of direction in US policy are conveniently ignored or explained away as campaign rhetoric. ... The truth which no one would dare to speak is that Hamas, with its offers of a long-term truce with Israel, and its readiness to recognize the 1967 borders is much more moderate and conciliatory than any significant Jewish Israeli party."
