Roadmap Amnesia Watch

From the New York Times article yesterday on Hamas being invited to join a "unity government": "While Mr. Abbas seeks to co-opt Hamas and other armed factions, Israel says he should be confronting the groups. "

New York Times policy (in addition to ripping off blogs) is to treat the Road Map for Peace as a series of "Israeli demands" instead of what they are, which are commitments by the Palestinian Authority. The first step of the Road Map states as follows:

"Palestinians declare an unequivocal end to violence and terrorism and undertake visible efforts on the ground to arrest, disrupt, and restrain individuals and groups conducting and planning violent attacks on Israelis anywhere."
