Road Map U-turns

Ha’aretz is plugging this poll:

A poll released Thursday showed only 31 percent of Palestinians believe it possible to reach a peace deal with the current Israeli leadership, while 42 percent of Israelis believe it is possible to reach such a settlement with moderate Palestinian Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.

Only a quarter of Israelis surveyed believed the conflict could be resolved by talks with a Palestinian national unity government, which would include members of the Islamic Hamas movement.

But let’s look at it another way. 58 % of Israelis do not believe (for whatever reasons) that peace with the Palestinians is possible now and 69% of Palestinians agree.
