IT'S OSLO DEJA VU

From Steven Plaut.

Middle East ceasefires are always unilateral ceasefires, whereby the Jews stop shooting back. They usually morph into one of those "controlled carnage" agreements that Israeli politicians so love, whereby the Arabs continue to murder Jews but as long as the rate of murder is "reasonable", the Jews do not retaliate. Such deals operated in Lebanon and with the PLO.

And now Sharon's ceasefire has been revealed to be just another in this series, as the massacre Friday night outside a Tel Aviv nightclub showed. The one-sided violence is no surprise. And it is being accompanied by all the same nonsense Oslo pollyanna. The leftist newspapers in Israel are sighing in ecstasy about how Abu Shlimazen's new government is now going to crack down on the terror. Danny Rubinstein, Haaretz's commentator on Palestinian affairs, the leftist who always seems to be convinced that all Palestinians think exactly what he is thinking this week, a guy who is acknowledged as an expert on Palestinians by himself, insists the Palestinian "street" is horrified by the atrocity in Tel Aviv Friday night.

It is Oslo deja vu all over again, and we are only missing Shimon Peres telling us about how the threat of infiltration of cable TV into Israel is much worse than the threat of infiltration of terrorists."
