Geneva Accords

I feel like I should blog about the Geneva Accords, but to be honest I can't see why they matter. So they've established that a peace between Israelis and Palestinians is plausible. Except we already knew that already, and those who disagreed won't be swayed by negotiations for a plan that everyone knew would never actually be implemented. According to Imshin, the reaction in Israel is rather muted, and I can't imagine Palestinians are taking them that seriously either, despite Arafat's efforts to use them as a propaganda tool. Pieces of paper are nice, but I'm more interested in actions which change the ground situation, and these remain elusive.
