UN to Explore New Israel-PA Peace Effort
Arutz Sheva ^ | 20/5/15 | Elad Benari

The United Nations will explore options with Israel's new government for a return to negotiations on creating a Palestinian state within a reasonable timeframe, the body’s new envoy said Tuesday, according to AFP.

Nickolay Mladenov, the UN special Middle East coordinator, told the Security Council that "the coming period will be critical to the future of the peace process."

Peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA) have been comatose since a major American push for a final deal ended in failure in April 2014.

UN efforts to revive the peace process were effectively on hold in recent months as Israel held elections and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu formed a new government that was announced last week.

Mladenov said he and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon "will be engaging the new government to explore realistic options for a return to meaningful negotiations towards a two-state solution within a reasonable timeframe."

The envoy, who took up his post last month, renewed a UN call for a freeze on Israeli construction in Judea and Samaria and urged the new government to reverse decisions on three recent tenders for new construction.

"To give hope back to people, we must act to advance the prospect of a two-state solution: Israel and Palestine living side-by-side in peace and security," Mladenov told the 15-member council.

Lunatics try the same thing repeatedly and each time expect a different result.

Exactly why is it that everyone is so hot for a peace between Jews and Arabs, anyway? Because there are lots of Arabs and they have oil. Therefore, whatever Pali wants, Israel is supposed to give, including committing suicide on request. My great 'hope' is that the piece process is gone forever, despite anything that these lunatics can do to revive it.

Hard to negotiate when one of the groups insists that the final outcome has to include “Death to all the Jews”

There will be peace in the middle east as soon as the Muslim population is reduced below a sustainable level.

If the Muslims lay down their arms, there will be peace. If the Israelis lay down their arms there will be no Israel.

“Just say No!”

sane rational people will understand Israel won’t be coerced into committing suicide

Nazis and nutcases will of course always blame Israel (for daring to exist) anyway, so no loss. (They’re headed straight to Hell anyway, nothing much any of us can to do help them.. they have to want to reform, recover, find God...)

To paraphrase that great cartoon featuring John Kerry, can’t Israel just meet them halfway?

We already did, between 1939 and 1946.

I believe that there can be peace, but not through the two-state ‘solution’ which is a pipe dream at best, and more likely a nightmare. So long as that paradigm remains the prevailing one, there will be no peace.

“Latest Stupid Idea”

What? To offer the same old stupid idea, but this time to throw the adjective “realistic” around?

Israel’s new FM told EU that Abbas walked out of negotiations and united with Hamas, Israel was left sitting alone at the negotiating table.

For me no negotiations until PLO recognizes Jewish nature of Israel, and stops stabbing Jews in the street and running them over with vehicles on the sidewalks.

IOW, there can be no peace until you stop living your lives and just admit already that you're not going to be living much longer in the Jew-occupied Middle East, so why are you building?

The state of Palestine? Still mired in Jew hatred

[snip] Palestinian [sic] rhetoric and behavior reflect their honest intentions: their official organs and most of their leaders seek Israel’s destruction... With the Palestinians [sic] taking Israel to the International Criminal Court and trying to kick Israel out of the international soccer league, FIFA, while still boycotting normal, constructive, personal, economic or cultural ties with Israel, their war against the Jews continues... Palestinian rhetoric and behavior reflect their honest intentions: their official organs and most of their leaders seek Israel’s destruction and hate the Jewish people — not just “Zionists” — so much, they keep their people miserable rather than make any accommodation with the Jewish state. The Palestinians’ [sic] self-destructive commitment to delegitimizing Israel rather than building their state or improving their lives proves they are motivated by bigotry. [/snip]
