If you follow the Israeli media, you know that the newspaper Haaretz is a rough equivalent of the New York Times: self-serious, high-brow, the aspirant paper of record—and also very left-wing, sometimes nauseatingly so. Rarely has there been a peace conference, Israeli concession, or dovish fantasy that the editors and columnists of Haaretz have been able to resist championing. Except, it seems, Annapolis.

It has been an uphill job, resulting in what seems to me a bit of farce this weekend, the last before the event itself.
