PROXIMITY TALKS

It has become commonplace for all of the ills of the Muslim world to be blamed on the Israel/Palestine conflict.

Fix that up and Muslims will stop blowing up Buddhists in Bali, Christians in Nigeria and they'll stop flying planes into buildings in New York. Let the Jews disappear in one small place on the planet and there will be peace on earth and goodwill to all men and women.

This idiotic worldview is even gaining acceptance with American generals and a few would be do gooder Jews on J Street but it's a concept that has no traction whatsoever in reality.

This is plain for all to see when within hours of the commencement of proximity talks aimed at achieving peace between Israel and Palestinians (Mideast 'proximity talks' underway), Islamic extremists were running amok in Baghdad - At least 49 killed in Baghdad bombings.

Go expain this to the blockheads on J Street!
