Letter to The Washington Post

Dear Editor, In, "Romney told donors Palestinians don't want peace with Israel" (9/19/12), The Washington Post states that the PLO (the organization responsible for the massacre of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972) among other West Bank groups "recognized Israel in the early 1990s and continue to seek a two-state solution." Recognition apparently does not mean including Israel on Palestinian maps. So I am not sure where the recognition is. With respect to the assertion that the West Bank Palestinian factions are seeking a two-state solution, the Palestinians refuse to even sit down to negotiate with Israel without demanding pre-conditions being met. Would the Post then clarify as to how the Palestinians are seeking peace? Whether one is a supporter of Mitt Romney or not, his words make more sense than the interjections by The Washington Post reporters. Michael Berenhaus
