Palestinian Leaders Continue to Deny Their Own History To Avoid Peace

This is more evidence that the Palestinian leaders have no real desire to make peace, they continue to deny history. You can't negotiate with people with people who deny your legitimacy. Last month Sheik Tayseer Rajab Tamimi, chief Islamic judge of the Palestinian Authority said:

Jews have no history in the city of Jerusalem: They have never lived there, the Temple never existed, and Israeli archaeologists have admitted as much. Those who deny this are simply liars.

..his comments come on the heels of those by Shamekh Alawneh, a lecturer in modern history at Al Quds University. On an Aug. 11 PA television program, "Jerusalem—History and Culture," Mr. Alawneh argued that the Jews invented their connection to Jerusalem. "It has no historical roots," he said, adding that the Jews are engaging in "an attack on history, theft of culture, falsification of facts, erasure of the truth, and Judaization of the place."

In fact, citizens of Greece have more claim to the city than muslims.

Dealing with Palestinians is like trying to talk to a rabid dog.

Our leadership is a bunch of Lefty fools starting with Obama and then going to Pelosi and Reid. America needs a leader with the guts of Bibi Netanyahu.

Netanyahu told the UN the way it is and how it should be! America has no moral courge any more. Sad but true.
