The "democratically elected government" now ruling Gaza has boycotted the summit. They claim abu Mazen doesn't represent them and has no authority to negotiate with the Zionist on behalf of the palestinian people. They will continue to bomb Israel.
News reports from Gaza show terrorists demonstrators in the streets vowing allegiance to hamas' henchmen. Yes, these folks really want peace. Not.
Israel will be no closer to peace (and safety) after this meeting. Evacuating the West Bank and possibly the Golan Heights for a peace promise. The leaders in Annapolis will haggle (like arabs do) over land and rights, leaving Olmert with nothing but assurances. Israelis will be no safer tomorrow.
The participants are an extension of their people, and the people of Gaza don't care what happens in Annapolis.
If we see all the middle east envoys shake hands with Olmert in front of the Citadel, do you think the mindset of the people they represent will change? It didn't change when Arafat and Rabin shook hands. It's going to take a lot more than a round of hand shakes, even if Israel gives them the moon.

Not only will Israel be "no safer," they will be LESS safe.
Israel is tired of fighting, which is why they keep coming to conferences like this and keep making deals that will immediately be broken by the Arabs. But their enemies will NEVER get tired of fighting. They'll keep after Israel until Israel is wiped out (and God intervenes). Israel must not stop fighting, no matter how tired they are. And they need to tell the US to take their summits and shove them where the sun don't shine.
Well said Skye, well said!
Is anyone actually paying attention to this latest joke of a peace conference?
Israel (And the rest of the world, for that matter) is at war, and giving presents to the enemy is a little silly.
I'm paying attention just to see if anyone wants to sign a 7 year tready with Israel.
When that happens I'm going to buy a Corvette and wait for the end!
