Fayyad’s Exit Signals Oslo’s Bankruptcy. By Jonathan S. Tobin.
Fayyad’s Exit Signals Oslo’s Bankruptcy. By Jonathan S. Tobin. Commentary, April 14, 2013. Also at New York Post.
Tobin:
The resignation of Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad is a pivotal moment in the history of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. His exit lays bare the collapse of what The New York Times called “Fayyadism” — the hope that Palestinian nationalism would be refocused on development and coexistence rather than violence. Without the fig leaf of responsibility that Fayyad provided, the idea that the PA is anything but a corrupt regime fatally compromised by connections with terror rings false.
Fayyad’s inability to either generate much public support among the people of the West Bank or to use his credentials as a respected international figure to outmaneuver PA President Mahmoud Abbas is a tragedy for the Palestinian people. His failure dooms them to a choice between the venal and incompetent cadres of Fatah or the bloody Islamist tyranny of Hamas.
Fayyad has always had the strong support of both the United States and of Israel, which despite its suspicions about the PA has seen him as an essential interlocutor and partner. His problem is that Abbas’ Fatah Party viewed him as an obstacle to both its drive for political hegemony in the West Bank as well as to the continuation of its crooked patronage schemes that diverted foreign-aid money into its leaders’ pockets.
Without a Fayyad (or someone like him), there is no pretense that what the peace processers seek to create in the West Bank is a state living in peace with Israel or its other Arab neighbors, rather than a kleptocracy run by terrorists. That is not only bad news for the Palestinian people, but also a guarantee that the terms of any peace deal signed with them will not be observed.
This conundrum goes to the heart of the original motivations behind the Oslo process that created the PA in 1993.
Shimon Peres conceived the Oslo process as a path to a “New Middle East” in which Israel and a Palestinian state led by Fayyads would create a Benelux-like enclave in the Middle East. The late Yitzhak Rabin, though, thought handing the territories over to Yasser Arafat would work because the old terrorist would be willing to settle for statehood in only part of the country and would then be free to quash Hamas and any other terrorists without the interference of a Supreme Court or gadfly groups that inhibited Israeli counterterror measures.
As it turns out, both were wrong. Peres’ hopes about what the PA would become were delusional. But the hard-boiled Rabin was just as wrong to think a Palestinian state led by corrupt terrorists isn’t antithetical to the entire concept of two states for two peoples living alongside each other in peace. This has already been amply demonstrated, first by Arafat’s use of terrorism and then by what has happened in Gaza where an independent Palestinian state in all but name already exists.
Fayyad’s tragedy was not just that both Fatah and Hamas wanted to be rid of him, but that he had virtually no support among ordinary Palestinians. So long as shedding Jewish blood is the main factor that gives a Palestinian political party credibility, men like Fayyad will have no chance no matter how much they are applauded by Americans or Israelis.
The collapse of his effort to change Palestinian politics is therefore a key moment that should signal to the world that it must dispense with the theories of both Peres and Rabin and cease ignoring reality in favor of illusions.

the 1970s TV show All in the Family,
is the classic liberal caricature of a Jacksonian as boobus americanus. Yet
Archie shows an instinctive understanding of the Jacksonian concept of
masculinity and its connection to gun ownership. Here in his inimitable way,
Archie (Carroll O’Connor) explains his objection to gun control on grounds of Jacksonian manhood
to his son-in-law Mike, aka “Meathead” (Rob Reiner), referencing Jacksonian film icons John Wayne, Gary Cooper, and Clint “Westwood.” This scene, which starts at 5:46 in the
video, is from Season 3, Episode 1, “Archie and the Editorial,” first shown on
September 16, 1972.
TV: Only by enforcing even tougher gun laws can the tide of violence and death be halted. Guns must go, before more of them go off.
Archie: Well that’s where you’re going buddy boy, off!
Meathead: Hey, what are you doing that for? I wanted to hear what he had to say there.
Archie: He’s a fairy like all them gun control guys.
Meathead: I’m for gun control.
Archie: Tell it to her, maybe she’ll get the marriage annulled.
Gloria: Daddy!
Meathead: Archie, what do guns have to do with maleness?
Archie: What do guns have to do with maleness? Duke Wayne buddy!
Meathead: What?
Archie: Clint Westwood there buddy.
Meathead: What are you talking about!?
Archie: Gary Cooper, Sergeant York. I could go on and on and on, but it’d do do no good because talking to you is like casting pearls into wine.
Meathead: Huh?
Archie: Tell that to old lady Heidgeger down the street no guns. She’d have been glad to have a rod when her two burglars bust in on her last week, huh Edith.
Meathead: Archie, how do you expect an 88-year old woman to go around carrying a gun.
Archie: I don’t know. She can carry it in her elastic stocking next to her very close friend. All I know is as an American it’s my right to pack a rod!

Margaret Thatcher: Britain was set free by this class warrior. By Janet Daley. The Telegraph, April 13, 2013.
Thatcher brought a dose of Jacksonian populism to elitist Britain. She sought to remake Britain in the image of Jacksonian America.

Daley (Thatcher):
Everybody has his own candidate for the most important legacy of Margaret Thatcher’s time in office. Was it the reform of trade union power, the rescue of the economy from apparently terminal decline, or the release of industry from state ownership? Well, no, actually. I would make the case that while all of those things were tumultuous in their significance, they could all (God help us) be reversed. Some future government that was sufficiently benighted might legislate to remove the right of trade union members to vote on strike action. It might even seize the levers of economic activity and return vast areas of commercial life to the state.
But it would be humanly impossible to overturn the revolution in social attitudes that she brought about. And by social attitudes I mean, of course, attitudes to class. It is very difficult to explain to people under the age of 40 what this change has meant. The best way to encapsulate it is with a startling quote from the estimable Sir Jonathan Miller that has risen over this past week – like a grotesque apparition from the historic past – to remind us of what we once were like. The good doctor (as he then was) said that he hated Mrs Thatcher (as she then was) for her “odious gentility and sentimental, saccharine patriotism, catering to the worst elements of commuter idiocy.”
The greatest and most irreversible testimony to Thatcherism is that no one in public life (perhaps no one in his right mind) would today utter a statement of such shameless snobbery – such egregious, unvarnished hatred for that vast swath of the population who are now the object of every political leader’s admiration.
The “idiot commuters” whom Dr Miller loathed are none other than Ed Miliband’s “strivers” and David Cameron’s “people who work hard and want to get on.” Immediately before that, they were Gordon Brown’s “hard-working families” and even earlier – in the immediate wake of the Thatcher social revolution – they were the aspirational working classes whom Tony Blair had discovered were the lost Labour constituency.
But, as I say, it is hard to recall a time when public discourse was dominated by the unapologetic patrician elitism of public intellectuals who detested petit bourgeois virtues and particularly derided the sort of individual ambition that Thatcherism lauded. Somehow, there seemed to be no sense of absurdity in hearing people who espoused equality in one breath sounding like one of Jane Austen’s aristocrats ridiculing people whose money came from “trade” in the next.
There was a peculiar other-worldliness about this condescension that helped to undo it: a rather bizarre form of conceit which failed to recognise that even people you might have met and worked with could be part of that loathed army of idiots – or might, at least, regard it with affection and understanding.
At the time of Dr Miller’s widely quoted remarks in which he likened Thatcherism and its supporters to “typhoid”, a BBC television arts producer I knew who had grown up in a lower-middle-class family said: “Hey, that’s my mum and dad he’s talking about.” But presumably it never occurred to the Left-wing aristocracy that anyone in their own professional circle might himself have risen from the respectable working class or the truly accursed one just a notch above it. That would be because the idea of “rising” at all was faintly ridiculous and contemptible.
The very people who (most of the time) advocated educational opportunity and social freedom were driven to the most repugnant, frenzied abuse by, for example, the idea of working-class people being allowed to purchase the council houses they lived in, or being encouraged to start up businesses, or – especially this – moving right up and away from their class roots.
The romanticising of working-class life, with all its defeatism and passivity, was shocking to me when I first arrived here from the United States in the Sixties. This was paternalism at its least benign: a kind of sub-Marxist notion of class loyalty that ran deep in the Labour movement was used to bury people’s feet in the cultural concrete of their origins. It was not just risky or foolhardy to aspire to something more: it was positively wrong, a betrayal of your forebears.
Even more personally, the desire for self-improvement was a repudiation of your parents and neighbours. The Miliband “strivers” and the Cameron people “who work hard and want to get on” were not the heroes of pre‑Thatcher British politics. To Old Labour they were selfish class traitors. To the intellectual aristocracy, they were vulgar and ridiculous.
You may wonder why this vaguely feudal concept of social order came so naturally to those who surely must have thought of themselves as progressive. What struck me at the time was that Britain had somehow leapt straight from the 19th century into late Marxism. So the only acceptable advancement for working people could be through collective progress: they could move forward as a class, seizing political and economic power together, or they could stay where they were, nursing their shared grievances.
This was why “individualism” (or “selfish individualism”, as it was always known) had to be so comprehensively denounced. The achievements and successes of any one person were not just a pointless distraction: they actually robbed the proletariat of its potential for mass action. Separating out individuals for reward on the basis of merit or industriousness remains anathema to most trades unions, which is why they resist differentials of pay on the basis of results (“performance-related pay”).
What Thatcherism did was offer modern property-owning capitalism – with all the personal liberation that it implies – to the mass of the population. The vitriolic argument that began then about individual rights as opposed to collective ones is not finished. Nor has the critical question about wealth distribution been answered definitively: is it wrong that some people should be wealthier than others, even if virtually everybody has become wealthier than they were?
But the central radical idea of Thatcherism’s social philosophy would never be beaten back: everyone should have a right to progress as far from his beginnings as his talent and ambition can take him, and no one – not least the state or its agencies – should despise him for the attempt. In fact, it is one of the chief functions of government to do everything in its power to clear the obstacles to that progress, whether that involves dismantling the power of trades unions, reducing the cost of living or increasing the freedom to make private choices.
At the heart of this is respect: respect for the kind of ordinary life that Margaret Thatcher had known and that it would never have occurred to her to hold in contempt.

One More Reason Why Mideast Peace Won’t Happen. By Jonathan S. Tobin.
One More Reason Why Peace Won’t Happen. By Jonathan S. Tobin. Commentary, April 12, 2013.
A Day at the Museum. By Bat Ye’or. Translated from the French by Jean Szlamowicz. Jihad Watch, April 12, 2013.
Tobin:
Anyone who regularly follows the translations of the Palestinian media available on Palestinian Media Watch (www.palwatch.org) or www.Memri.org understands that the blithe talk about the possibility of Middle East peace that is heard on the left is utterly unrealistic. But keeping one’s finger on the pulse of a Palestinian culture that continues to foment hatred of Jews and Israel isn’t the only indicator of just how deep this animus runs in Arab culture. Just as informative is a look at the cultures of the two Arab countries that have already made peace with Israel: Egypt and Jordan. The potent anti-Semitism of the Muslim Brotherhood as well as the prejudice that runs throughout the culture of the largest Arab nation is well documented. But the situation in Jordan is less well known.
Jordan’s reputation as a moderate Arab nation stems mostly from the attitude of former King Hussein and his successor King Abdullah. Like his father, the Jordanian monarch is well spoken in English, charming and, despite the criticisms he lobs across the border at Israel in order to maintain his standing as an Arab leader, very much uninterested in conflict with the Jewish state. But his people and even those in his government are a very different manner.
As the Jerusalem Post reports, 110 out of 120 members of the Jordanian parliament have endorsed a petition calling for the release of the former soldier who murdered seven Jewish children in 1997. The shocking incident at the Island of Peace along the border between Israel and Jordan prompted King Hussein to personally apologize to the families of the victims for what he considered a blot on the honor of both his country and its armed services. But to the overwhelming majority of Jordanians, he appears to be a hero. If that doesn’t tell you something about how difficult it is to imagine the end of the Middle East conflict, you aren’t paying attention.
The details of the Island of Peace shooting were horrific. Ahmed Daqamseh, one of the Jordanian soldiers on duty at the site that day, turned his gun on a group of visiting Israeli schoolgirls, killing seven and injuring five. The death toll was limited only by the fact that his gun jammed. He was spared a death sentence because a tribunal ruled that he was mentally unstable. But the elevation of his former defense attorney, Hussein Mjali, to the post of minister of justice in 2011 gave new life to the campaign to spring the killer.
Unlike other such causes to free long-imprisoned figures, this effort isn’t based on any ideas about a miscarriage of justice or an overly harsh sentence. It is, instead, based on the abhorrence with which Israel and Jews in general are viewed in Jordanian society. Daqamseh is unrepentant about his crime and that appears to make him popular. Part of this can be traced to the fact that the majority of Jordanians are Palestinians who are generally marginalized in a government run by and for the Hashemite ruling family. But it must also be traced to a general current of Jew-hatred that grips the Arab and Muslim worlds. It is only that feeling that can explain the desire of so many in Jordan to treat a madman who went on a rampage killing little girls as a hero or imprisoned martyr.
The problem between Israel and its neighbors has never really been the location of borders, settlements or the severity of its measures of self-defense. It’s about the unwillingness of a critical mass of Palestinians and Arabs in general to tolerate Jewish sovereignty over any portion, no matter how small, over part of the Middle East. The hate that leads serious people to demand freedom for a mass killer of children is the same factor that makes true peace unlikely in the foreseeable future. This is regrettable, but those who wish to claim any insight into the politics that drive the Middle East conflict cannot ignore it.
