We've all read and heard the usual rhetoric. The Israelis have no partner with whom to engage in a peace-dialogue. Or, the present terrorist acts and anger of Muslims around the world is unrelated to the Palestinian-Israel conflict. And there are many more of like nature.
Well, this report, as detailed in BusinessDay, should put all the shiboleths and "fictions" to rest:
"Resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is key to improving relations between Islam and the West, a multinational group of scholars, politicians and religious leaders said in a report presented in Istanbul today to UN chief Kofi Annan.
“The Israeli-Palestinian issue has become a key symbol of the rift between Western and Muslim societies and remains one of the gravest threats to international stability,” said the report, excerpts of which were obtained by AFP.
“The international community should seek a settlement to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with a renewed sense of urgency,” said the document finalised after a two-day meeting in the city."
