The Oslo Rut................by Dan Friedman

For all the kvelling inspired by Bibi’s speech at the UN Friday, it broke no new ground. He simply reaffirmed his determination to pursue the “peace process” fairytale. Evidently, bloody wars and intifadas have yet to break Oslo’s spell. But the Arabs and Islam never disappoint and before long Israel will have one or the other or both again. That will provide Israelis yet another opportunity to stop chasing fantasies and demand their vanquished enemies surrender instead. All of which may sound outré to an “international community” that can’t get the Oslo obsession out of its mind. But dear “friends of Israel,” the Jewish people owe their life and merit to Abraham, an upright man who smashed his father’s idols and brought G-d in the heavens down to earth. It will take another act of Jewish defiance to lift His Holy Land out of the miserable morass it finds itself in today.
