All unimpeachably true — but to one who has rejected as factual the Palestinians’ determination to destroy Israel, it’s unacceptable.

That’s the stumbling block that prevents so many in the West from seeing the “peace process” for what it is. They decline to read the HAMAS Charter, or the English translations of Arabic leaders’ speeches in Arabic, provided by MEMRI. They refuse direct examination of the core documents of Islam, which explicitly teach Muslims that the Jews are to be exterminated. And of course, they shut their eyes to the asymmetry between the accomplishments and behaviors of Israel, and the accomplishments and behaviors of the irredentists in the Palestinian zones.

There are none so blind as those who will not see.
