World leaders back Geneva; rightist rabbis: plan is treason

"Fifty-eight former presidents, prime ministers,
foreign ministers and other global leaders
released a statement Monday expressing "strong
support" for the Geneva Accord, as a 250-strong
group of right-wing rabbis issued an edict
branding the Israeli negotiators as traitors who
should be shunned by the world.

The Israeli-Palestinian
conflict has taken far too
great a toll already," said
statement by the world
leaders, many of whom were
Western European, but also
included former Presidents
Mikhail Gorbachev of the
Soviet Union, F.W. de Klerk
of South Africa and Ernesto
Zedillo of Mexico, as well as the longtime West
German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich
Genscher."

"Labor MKs Ophir Pines-Paz and Eitan Cabel called
on Attorney General Elyakim Rubinstein to
investigate the rabbinical ruling that those
behind the accord are traitors who should be
put on trial.

The ruling, released as the Accord was launched
in Switzerland, drew calls for a police inquiry
from leftists who see it as incitement of the
kind that led to the 1995 assassination of
then-prime minister Yitzhak Rabin by a
right-wing extremist."

But they have a good track record against peace, so I guess they're the winners.
