Jimmy Carter still doesn't get it. The "preeminent issue" is not, as he said in his op-ed, "opening the crossings into Gaza."
The preeminent, overriding, insurmountable issue is the refusal of Hamas to accept the existence of Israel. That intransigence is its justification for continuing terrorist attacks, the rationale for its hostility toward a Fatah leadership willing to negotiate toward a two-state solution and, in fact, its raison d'etre. It is irrational to imagine "a permanent and comprehensive peace" under such an absolute imperative, and one wonders what President Carter doesn't understand about that.
