Palestinians Want Israel (and Rest of World) To Concede Everything Before it Will Talk Peace

Truthfully, the real reason there is no peace between Israel and the Palestinians is the Palestinians don't want peace. No other country in the world has made concessions the way Israel has. Since 1977, they given up areas of land three times the size of the State of Israel. The Oslo process began in 1993. Sixteen years have passed since then, and they are no closer to a permanent settlement.

The Palestinians don't want peace, after all its bad for buisness. It is the hatred of Israel that allows the PA to keep power. It deflects public anger from their own fraud, theft of public funds and incompetence, to that "evil Zionist entity." That's why the terrorists Arafat walked away from an almost done deal during the Clinton Administration and launched the "second intifada."

US President Barack Obama gave the Palestinians a new excuse to avoid peace. The President's demand for a settlement freeze was a gift to the Palestinians. They twisted his pressure for the freeze and made it a pre-condition for negotiations, giving the Palestinians an excuse to avoid negotiations and the other Arab nations an excuse to avoid making the "gestures" for which the President is looking.

Now that Netanyahu's 10 month freeze has blunted the President's clumsy settlement demands the Palestinians have a new way to delay peace talks. Their new tactic is to demand that Israel concede all the major points before they will engage in talks.

I'll concede as many B-52's full of cluster bombs as they'll take. Followed by IDF D-9 Cat bulldozers.

That’s surrender not talking peace.

Cue Captain Obvious.

To use Arafart’s phrase, give the palesimians “the peace of Saladin”, or send them to Antarctica..

It is the hatred of Israel that allows the PA to keep power.

That's it! If they don't continue the turmoil, they are nothing. It has nothing to do about peace. It's just like JJ and Al S - without stirring the race card, they are nothing.

Nothing new in the last 30 years. This is why the "peace process" is a dated and unfunny joke. That Obama thought he could walk in out of nowhere and turn these guys around is testimony to his incompetence and impaired judgment.

Tell 'em whatever they want to hear.

Then teach 'em what a Zionist fission reaction feels like.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
