Palestinians Reject Peace

~Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority rejects the notion that he should make any comparable concession. such as recognizing Israel as a Jewish state, which would imply renunciation of any large-scale resettlement of refugees.
~An article by Jackson Diehl of the Washington Post captures this shift most vividly. Diehl notes, based on an interview with Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority, that by publicly and repeatedly stressing the need for a without-exception freeze of Israeli building on the West Bank, Obama has revived a long-dormant Palestinian fantasy: that the United States will simply force Israel to make critical concessions, whether or not its democratic government agrees, while Arabs passively watch and applaud.
~Instead, he says, he will remain passive. ... "I will wait for Israel to freeze settlements," he said. "Until then, in the West Bank we have a good reality . . . the people are living a normal life."
~Abbas's idea of "normal life," one should add, is also largely provided by Washington and its allies; West Bank Palestinians enjoy by far the highest per-capita foreign aid of any group in the world; at just one "donors' conference" in December 2007, for example, Abbas won pledges for over US$1,800 per West Banker per year.

for the naive ones - there will never be peace in the middle east. For as long as arab governments keep their people suppressed and miserable, having created an external enemy to blame - arabs and muslims will hate Israel and the Jews - yes, fm - all of them!!! You might live in a pink world - but we live in the real one. How do I explain it to you? Simple really - does any muslim and any Arab feel more kinship with another muslim or Arab - or a Jew? I think you can answer this question. So every time the "jewish atrocities" make it to the news in these countries - which is daily - because the propaganda machine is always churning - the Arab and muslim hatred of the Jews is reinforced. That goes for Syria, Iran, Lybia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, etc - yes, even the "moderate" and secular.
To shed your pink glasses, put on a star of David and go travel through those countries - and a few more (actually a lot more - England, Fraince, Sweden, Indonesia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, etc, etc, etc). I bet you'll find yourself with your head removed before you cross one border!!! Now, put on a cross - or even a muslim scullcap - and go to Israel - nothing will happen to you. That's the fucking difference between civilization and medieval islamic world!!!

Israel rejected a few peace agreements too if I'm not mistaken.

I certainly feel bad for this man inthe picture and his family. I wish him weel and I also do pray for peace.
However, if the terorists threw away their guns and bombs today for real,there would be peace tomorrow morning between the Palestinians and the Israelis.
If Israel would throw away their weapons and bombs today, there wouold be hundreds of thousand of dead Jews tomorrow morning. Peace should only be negotiated with someone who wants peace.
The Israeli zionists tried a few times to make peace and each time the "Palestinians" said, "No, it's not enough."
Also, Israel set free hundreds of terrorist prisoners and the "Palestinians" gave back the bones of two Israeli prisoners.
This is like dealing with a nymphomaniac...it was never enough, it is never enough and it will never be enough.
They want the destruction of Israel. Got that? That's what they want from the Jews. As Christians we have to love love and love peace. We do not love destruction, but that is what the Moslems want. When they are finished with Israel, we are next. They hate and kill whatever they don't believe in.

I'm interested seeing a map of the breakdown. What 3 percent is withheld?

What! The Palestians reject a peace agreement? That like almost never happens! So what else is new.
