Reason #7205 peace is impossible

Buried in a health article about the benefits (and sometimes dangers) of afternoon naps in Jordanian newspaper Albaladeyes, we learn about a 2002 Israeli study that correlates mortality and naps in male senior citizens.

But the description of the study is what is interesting:

New research published this month (January 2013) in the journal Sleep Medicine and conducted on a group of seniors in the United States that showed a correlation between naps and atherosclerosis and heart disease. A previous study published in 2002 in the journal Sleep, conducted on Jewish settlers in Palestine, showed similar results.

Now, Last I checked, Jordan recognizes and has a peace agreement with Israel. The study was done fully inside the Green Line. Yet, the author of the article automatically calls the subjects "Jewish settlers in Palestine."

Is there anyone who believes for a second that peace with the PLO would be less fractured than "peace" with Jordan? Clearly, the ordinary citizens of Jordan - and a medical journalist must be smarter than the average Jordanian - simply do not, and will never, accept the idea of a Jewish state. They will reconcile themselves to it if they don't see any alternative, but they will never accept it.

Yesterday, I saw similar beliefs from a PLO official. Speaking to a friendly Muslim audience, he made it clear that Palestinian Arabs will never regard Israel as legitimate, peace agreement or not.
