"In other words, why have we lost the capacity to deal with the Palestinian issue in a realistic and normal manner? The Arab analysis of the situation constantly repast that it is the Israeli side that is afraid – to its very core – of the consequences of peace, and normalization of relations with the Arab world. This is a correct analysis, to a large extent, at least with regards to the Israeli right-wing who supports the current state of affairs. Peace means a re-imagining of the Israeli mentality, removing it from the strangleholds of isolation, panic and [the mentality of] the Jewish ghetto.
This analysis is true, but what is not mentioned is this: Do some Arab intellectuals and politicians also fear a peace agreement being signed, finally resolving the Palestinian Cause?"
