Mahmoud Abbas, that intransigent leader that the world considers "moderate," had added another condition for "peace" with Israel:Abbas now demands that Israel release every single Palestinian Arab prisoner.
This includes, of course, the most heinous terrorists - those that have murdered and slaughtered Israelis - that have been captured by Israel. Abbas is not distinguishing between prisoners with "blood on their hands" and those who merely planned or facilitated terror attacks.
Abbas is saying that peace depends on Israel releasing murderers. Not only that, he is implicitly threatening to support terrorism against Israel until every last of those prisoners are released.
Yet this Orwellian doublethink, that Israel must reward murderers and release terrorists in order to gain "peace," will not register as anomalous at all in the world's media.
Palestinian Arab leaders have learned that no matter how outrageous their demands, they will be treated with deference and respect.
