How much is that peace treaty in the window?

Why hasn't Ned Lamont thought of this? Or George Soros?

Israeli gambling billionaire makes bid for peace

"Avi Shaked is offering the Palestinian prime minister US$1 billion, if he and his Israeli counterpart agree to sit down and reach a peace agreement."

If this works then I nominate Bill Gates for emperor of the world. He can just buy tranquility for every feuding tribe on the planet!

Seriously though, consider why it is that if Haniyeh and Olmert "just sit down to talk" Haniyeh gets 100 grand. Olmert? zip. And if they "reach a peace agreement" then Haniyeh gets another 900 grand. Olmert? zip.

What is this if not tacit admission that it is NOT IN THE INTEREST OF [gang of thugs calling themselves "the Palestinians"] to achieve peace?
