Dear Editor,
In "U.S. envoy quietly resumes mission" (April 23, 2010) the Washington Post, in the spirit of even-handedness, states "how hard it has become to get Israelis and Palestinians to return to negotiations." But what about the spirit of truthfulness?
Israel has long been willing to meet for negotiations - anytime, anywhere. On the other hand, the Palestinians, after a long absence from agreeing to negotiate at all, reluctantly agreed to indirect talks through an intermediary - and even reneged on that at the last moment! Accuracy on this point is vital to an understanding of the conflict.
