Peace Talk of Fraud and Murder?
They have been talking about peace and using diplomacy to bring “peace” in the Middle East! During the process millions of Palestinians lost their lives, mother, father, sons and daughters, land and livelihood! Yet, the Palestinians are branded as terrorists and real terrorist i.e. Israelis are getting aid and protection as victims!
In Camp David they gave the Palestinians so called 98% of the land. John Howard – The Lying Son of A Bitch provoked Middle East Formula for Peace.
The proposal known as Wye Memorandum, 1998 and the Sharm-Esh-Sheikh proposal was a way forward for peace between Israel and Palestine were more fraudulent than the so called 98% of the land!
Today, they are doing the same. They are talking to maim and murder more Palestinians! They don’t want to give anything to the Palestinians!! It is another cruel joke.
Settler Rabbi publishes “The complete guide to killing non-Jews” — UPDATED,
Finkelstein dares to say the occupation is real and present, Settlement Building May Tear Down Peace Talks is well known and Israel have been building settlement and giving two finger salutes to everyone.
Jumpstarting Mideast Peace Talks: Will It Work? is self explanatory. Big on mumbling and nothing specific or substantial!
In short Israel Does Not Want Peace because it can afford to ignore peace.
Ironically A look at previous Israeli-Palestinian peace talks IGNORES the fundamental question like the absurd Projection of the West Bank Final Status Map presented by Israel, Camp David, July 2000!
Peace loving Israelis are inciting and no one is saying anything. The complete guide to killing non-Jews compliments the earlier ones!
Abbas and Netanyahu promise peace according to ABC but no details whatsoever!
Projection of the West Bank Final Status Map presented by Israel, Camp David, July 2000 and the Western media kept it secret.
I believe the 9/11 had something to do with this ‘genuine’ offer.
A young girl understands Israeli hypocrisy but USA doesn’t
Israel Does Not Want Peace.

| US may have forced the PA to the negotiating table but Palestinians will not submit. Lamis Andoni Last Modified: 29 Aug 2010 14:24 | ||||
The resumption of direct talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA) will allow Barack Obama to have his day presiding over the launch of another series of futile negotiations and, in providing an opportunity for Binyamin Netanyahu to assert his unwavering commitment to Israel's colonial policies, will earn the Israeli prime minister further bragging rights. But while the talks may serve immediate American and Israeli interests they will do nothing for the cause of peace. In fact, the mere announcement that talks will resume has emboldened the Israeli prime minister to declare that settlement-building will continue and to demand Palestinian recognition of the Jewish character of the Israeli state as a precondition for any future agreement. So, at the same time that it has pressured the PA into dropping its preconditions for participating, the US has allowed Netanyahu to impose his on the whole process with impunity. The Palestinians have already made clear that they will withdraw from talks should Israel not extend its freeze on settlement construction when it expires on September 26. But regardless of how long they last, the talks will have already started a process that will only perpetuate the Israeli occupation. This is simply the old new story of the 'peace process' - which, since it started in 1993, has consolidated Israeli control over the Palestinians while brutally crushing their resistance. Arab complicity
Responsibility for the decision to participate - despite overwhelming Palestinian opposition - must rest with the PA. But, it is important to recognise the growing American and Arab complicity in pushing the PA to surrender. Arab countries have collectively and individually exerted tremendous political and financial pressure on the PA to enter into direct talks. Qatar, the country that presided over the special Arab League committee that gave the green light for the talks, has played a pivotal role in negotiating their 'terms'. For their part, Jordan and Egypt, driven largely by their own self-interests, have long argued for an immediate resumption of direct talks under the guise that they would give the US an opportunity to support the Palestinian cause. In reality, Arab support for the PA has always been conditional on the Palestinian leadership's willingness to appease the West and the divisions between Fatah and Hamas have made the threat of Arab states withholding political support all the more real for the PA. But, the main pressure has been financial. Arab states have paid only $115mn of the $550mn pledged to PA institutions, leaving it with very real fears of financial collapse. Western donors have also failed to deliver on aid promises, much of which is linked to 'progress' in the 'peace process'.
No mandate, no surrender Despite this, many within the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) and the Fatah movement advised the PA not to succumb to American threats and Mahmoud Abbas would have gained much popular support had he resisted. But the PA leader and some of his aides feared that the international backlash from not participating would cost them and the Palestinians dearly. However, few Palestinians outside the narrow decision-making circle agree with them and the only reason why the decision has not yet been met with an outpouring of anger is because Palestinians are convinced the talks will not result in an offer that could lead to a Palestinian compromise. As one PLO official who asked not to be named told me: "We are not afraid of the outcome of the talks. There is nothing Abu Mazan (Abbas) would or could accept. But going to the talks has undermined our battle to isolate Israel." More than 700 prominent Palestinians in the West Bank, including leaders of all the PLO factions, signed a statement opposing the resumption of talks and called for a protest rally to be held on September 1 - the day negotiations are due to resume in Washington. But a press conference held by opponents of the talks was interrupted by security forces, in a crackdown that has been widely criticised and interpreted as revealing the depth of the divisions generated by the decision to participate. Abbas later expressed his respect for the opposition and ordered an investigation into the incident, but this 'rebellion' by leading Palestinian figures will not go away quietly. The PA leader will be entering negotiations without any organisational or popular backing, let alone a mandate. In fact, the only mandate Abbas will have should Netanyahu try to impose his vision of a fragmented Palestinian state deprived of any real sovereignty over land or resources is to say no. With unconditional US support for Netanyahu's position, Palestinian hopes must lie in the failure of the talks, as 'success' would be equivalent to Palestinian surrender.
