With the latest news of negotiations between Israel and Syria, many pinkdreamers started to fantasize about the Israelis eating humus in Damascus and Syrians throwing parties in famous Tel Aviv night clubs.
Based on our experience of “peace” with Egypt, I can safely say that these entire negotiations do not worth a bother. Syrians have already declared that they will not cut their support of Hezbollah and Hamas – the terrorist organizations who seek the destruction of Israel - and will not downgrade its relations with Iran (I don’t know who can naively think they’d ever do so).
A few months ago Syrian president Asad declared that although the peace agreement might be signed between the two nations, it will take generations to strike a good neighbor relations between the people of Syria and Israel. And I must say: he’s spot on!
Here is the latest example of Israeli “warm” relations with Egypt – a country we have peace with for since 1979.
A group of Israelis and non-Israeli Jews of Egyptian origins planned a roots trip to Egypt, to visit the places they and their ancestors used to live in, before they were forced to flee amidst the danger of hate-attacks by their Egyptian Muslim neighbors, when Egyptian broadcaster declared that they are coming to claim their property back and to celebrate Israel’s 60th anniversary in Egypt.
