One of the more bizarre contradictions from supposedly pro-Palestinian groups like "Jewish Voice for Peace" and the International Solidarity Movement and others is that while they all pretend to want peace, when something that resembles actual peace occurs, they are either silent (J-Street) or upset (SJP.)

Over the past week there have been visits to Israel from a group of professionals from Morocco and from a major Muslim leader from Indonesia. Having the Muslim world accept Israel as a permanent part of the Middle East and as a nation to be cooperated with is exactly what should be the goal of any group that pretends to want peace.

Obviously, Israel wants to have peaceful and normal relations with the Arab and Muslim world, which is far beyond the "cold peace" it has with Egypt and Jordan but which would include cultural exchanges, Israel offering expertise in medicine and environmental issues, and free visits between Israel and the Muslim world.

Somehow, that is not what the "pro-peace" groups seem to want.

Nevertheless, every day there is another story that upsets the crowd that wants Israel destroyed in the name of "peace."

Another Moroccan delegation is visiting Israel this week, mostly women, to "participate in social events, projects and seminars to promote the status of women."

Israel will participate in an international conference hosted by the Kingdom of Bahrain between June 24 and July 4, a meeting of UNESCO's World Heritage Committee, and Bahrain is not apologizing for allowing the Israelis to come. Arabic media reports list a slew of previous ties between Israel and Bahrain, some official.

Yesterday, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu visited King Abdullah of Jordan. Mahmoud Abbas spurns any high level contact with Israel but Jordan has no problem with it.

These are the sorts of things to be celebrated by anyone who wants peace. The fact that they aren't celebrating means that peace is not really the goal for the "pro-peace" and "pro-justice" movements.






We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
