NEGOTIATING PARTNERS

As if one needed any more convincing that the PA is an illegimate negotiating partner, there is this week's failed effort (the latest of many) to reach a binding agreement with Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Palestinians truly interested in peace with Israel wouldn't try to ally with Hamas, they'd try to crush it. If you're waiting for a condemnation of PA actions from the Israel-bashing left, don't hold your breath.
