Olmert, Abbas set up a negotiation team to pave the peace process road. The team will discuss “economics,” including electricity and water. In plain English, that means Israel will continue supplying the independent Palestinian state with water and electricity the Arabs don’t bother to pay for. Now Israeli taxpayers foot the bill for supplying water and electricity to Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank since paying for Jewish services is below the Arabs’ dignity. The “economics” also includes one-way border transparency: Palestinians will be able to work in Israel, dumping the local labor market and swelling the crime rate.
