Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa's condescending "I invite Israel not to be afraid of peace." Someone should have told Moussa to his face that there is not a single Israeli afraid of peace, but millions of us afraid of treachery, which has so far been the consistent result of every agreement purporting to offer Israel a measure of peace from the Arabs.
After signing an agreement with Israel, when an Arab government merely ignores its promises of cultural ties, persecutes its citizens for visiting Israel and builds up its army but does not launch all-out war, the Israeli government considers itself lucky.
To this we have come - not because our leaders are afraid of peace, but because they are blinded by enthusiasm at even the most mendacious promise of it
