- That does present a problem, of course. On the other hand, the former
- Shamir government was doing all it could (legally and illegally) to
- make sure that these provisions of the Camp David agreement, dead
- though they were because of Palestinian (and I suspect also Jordanian)
- intransigence, deader yet due to Jewish settlements in the Occupied
- Territories.

- We paid for a lot more than we got. We paid for a solution to the
- Palestinian question, and that solution is still pending. Ask the
- victims of Palestinian terrorism (or their survivors) since the
- signing of the Camp David accords if "reduced tension" has helped
- much. Ask the Palestinian youths living under military occupation if
- their lives are worth anything more because of "reduced tension".
-
- If the Camp David accord were a contract, and Israel and Egypt
- industrial suppliers, and I were the contracting party, I wouldn't pay.
- They haven't delivered, so I wouldn't pay.
