On the eve of what was supposed to be the declaration of a Palestinian State, Jerusalem is very quiet. Due to the recent delay of a declaration, one could expect that this would be the case, at least for the time being. I'm sitting here overlooking Jerusalem at Hebrew University on Mount Scopus, or in Hebrew Har Ha'Tzofim, which means looking out or spying out. From what I have seen and heard here, the chance of this quietness continuing for a long time is slim to none. I'm not saying this is due to any particular political leanings, although I do have plenty of opinions on the issue. I'm saying this simply because of what I see and what I hear from my vantage point in Israel - a peace treaty will not be achieved.
