Three Points in a Peace Plan, All Three Seeking Happiness!

More than 51 years ago, when I was dating my wife in Omega, Georgia, we went to a movie in the local theater, which I think had the title of “Three Coins in a Fountain.” I am not certain that was the name of the film, but I am certain its major theme song went something like this: “Three coins in a fountain, each one seeking happiness – Three coins in a fountain, somewhere in the heart of Rome.”
The Israelis have three points in their hearts that the Palestinians must accept if they are ever to find a short time of happiness by a temporary false peace in the land of Israel.
According to the Prime Minister of Israel, they are: (1) Recognizing Israel, (2) Renouncing the use of Terrorism, and (3) Accepting Previous Agreements, as stated in the following Jerusalem Post article.

Olmert in Paris: ‘Convergence is Unstoppable’
Gil Hoffman and JPost Com Staff, THE JERUSALEM POST

“Convergence is unstoppable,” Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Wednesday after meeting with French President Jacques Chirac in Paris.
“It will be implemented. I hope with negotiations, but also without [negotiations],” the prime minister emphasized.
“My belief in this has only been strengthened after my meetings with world leaders,” Olmert continued. “Willingness to give up most of the territory, hold onto the blocs, moving settlers behind a security border and forming a contiguous Palestinian state – this is the convergence,” he expanded, adding that circumstances had to be considered.
The prime minister said that the French had not expressed objections to the plan.
Olmert described his meeting with the French president enthusiastically, calling it “emotional, encouraging, and interesting,” and referring to Chirac as “patient and personal.”
Chirac, speaking at a press conference with Olmert prior to their meeting Wednesday, said that France and the European Union were determined to help achieve a peace that was acceptable to both [the Israeli and Palestinian] sides, and would allow both sides to live in peace and security.
Chirac said that the last elections expressed the Israeli public’s desire for peace and security, because, according to Chirac, the [Israeli-Palestinian] conflict had gone on long enough.
“It is time to impose peace in the region,” said the French president, “based on two states living side by side each other in peace.”
Chirac, who usually waits to greet dignitaries at the door, honored Olmert by receiving him at his car as it pulled up to the Palais de l’Elysees.
Olmert told Chirac, “I am honored to be your guest in France. As the prime minister who represents the Jewish people it is a special honor to be a guest of one of the greatest fighters against anti-Semitism in the world.
“You were, Mr. President, one of the first to outline, among other things, the Quartet’s three preconditions on the Palestinians before entering negotiations with Israel. I expect you will continue to encourage negotiations under these terms,” said Olmert.
The three conditions he referred to were the criteria the international community has set as the benchmark for granting Hamas legitimacy: recognizing Israel, renouncing terrorism and accepting previous agreements.
Olmert also vowed to “make every effort” to resume negotiations with the Palestinian Authority, although he also insisted that attacks must stop first.
