A NY Times staff-ed hopes that the US won’t buy into the belief that “withdrawing from Gaza will buy Israel time to spend to consolidate in the West Bank.” Unfortunately, the Times ignores the fact that the pullout is unilateral, and that the road map’s first phase requires the PA to crack down on terror. Apparently, as long as Abbas doesn’t lift a finger against the terror infrastructure, the Times will continue blaming Israel for the impasse.
