And Sadat Made Peace With Whom?

Michael Slackman writes in the New York Times of Egyptian disillusionment and lack of support for the 30-year old peace treaty with Israel.

Well, in describing that it happened like this

Thirty years ago, President Anwar el-Sadat broke ranks with his Arab allies, visited Jerusalem and agreed to peace with Israel.


it's no wonder.

If you de-personify the Israelis while glorifying Sadat of Egypt, why should you have peace? Anyone heard of Menachem Begin?

Peace is between peoples and once you eliminate Israelis as people, real-live persons, why peace?

Now apply this approach on the Palestinians.
Most Israelis don't really see Palestinians as 'real people'. To a lot of Israelis, Palestinians (Pals, Arabs,...) are no individuals, they don't really exist.
And exactly what you say, why would you want to have peace if it's not between peoples?

no, not same approach. most know Arafart, Habasg, Sheikh Yassin, Khaled Meshal, Grand Mufti, Ahemed Tibi, etc. peace is not indoctrinating religious violence based on Jews as pigs, monkeys and pygmies.
