Jewish World Review June 22, 2005 / 15 Sivan, 5765 White House strategy: Exit Abbas, enter Hamas? By Richard Z. Chesnoff http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | You could almost hear the deep sigh of relief from the White House yesterday when Israeli leader Ariel Sharon and his Palestinian counterpart Mahmoud Abbas finally sat down for their first face to face in five months. But relief alone isn't enough, and there's growing talk that the Bush administration, impatient over lack of visible movement toward an Israeli-Palestinian peace settlement, may soon trash longstanding American policy and authorize limited U.S. diplomatic contact with Abbas' chief rival and Israel's worst enemy: the Islamic terrorist organization known as Hamas. Talk about potential disasters! This extremely dangerous diplomatic turn may be precipitated in part by growing fear in the administration that Yasser Arafat's heir doesn't have the stuff needed to make peace happen and by frustration with Sharon's internal political woes. It's also hard for both President Bush and Secretary of State Rice to ignore hard facts on the West Bank/Gaza ground. Abbas' PLO Fatah organization remains racked by corruption and ineffectiveness. The PLO continues to lose popularity while Hamas gains. During recent Palestinian municipal elections, the group campaigned on a clean government platform and won nearly half of the municipal councils at stake! So, what's wrong with talking to Hamas? A lot. As Robert Satloff of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy recently put it, "Hamas is more than just a party with which we disagree; it is a terrorist organization responsible for the murder of hundreds of Israelis, Americans and citizens of many other countries." Hamas may someday fit into an acceptable political equation. It must first, however, seriously morph from a terrorist organization into a legitimate political party that both rejects violence and finds a meaningful formula for recognizing Israel's right to exist. Unlike Islamic Jihad and a few other wacko Palestinian terrorist groups, Hamas claims it is officially abiding by the PLO-orchestrated ceasefire with Israel. We shall see. But until Hamas completely sheds its bloody terrorist cloak, the Bush administration should stay the course and avoid all contact with the group. Legitimizing Hamas will further weaken Abbas, reward Hamas for its horrid history of terror and turn Israel's Gaza withdrawal into a Hamas victory. It would also be a posthumous slap in the face to Hamas' multitude of victims. Every weekday JewishWorldReview.com publishes what many in in the media and Washington consider "must-reading".
