if they cough up Temple Mount, they might as well fold up the tent and call it a day... cause they are finished.

JERUSALEM -- Palestinian negotiators drafting an agreement behind the scenes with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office have made clear they will not accept any final peace deal with Israel unless the Jewish state forfeits the Temple Mount, Judaism's holiest site, WND has learned. According to a report in Israel's Yediot Aharonot daily yesterday, Olmert is willing to discuss joint Israeli-Palestinian control over the Temple Mount complex. The report didn't state the positions of the Palestinian side on the issue. A chief Palestinian negotiator, speaking to WND on condition his name be withheld, said yesterday, "there can be no agreement with Israel unless we get complete sovereignty of the Mount. Once Palestinian control over the [Temple Mount] is fixed, then we will make assurances for Jewish visits to the site." The chief negotiator said aides from Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas Fatah organization have been hammering out the parameters of a final status agreement for presentation in November at a U.S.-backed international summit regarding the Middle East...

WTF would a Pali negotiator talk off the record with Whirled NutsDaily knowing the information would be placed in the lap of Aaron Klein?
They made up the whole cloth.
Olbert is a Sonderkommando, the lowest form of life.
The abomination of desolation was the first thing that crossed my mind on reading the headline. We are living in interesting times.

WingNutDaily and Klein are spinning an Israeli report.
From Ted Belman’s Israpundit:

News has broken that Olmert and Abbas have been meeting to work out a framework for the “core” issues of refugees, Jerusalem and borders before the conference proposed by Bush takes place in November. This ran first in Yediot Ahronot, which cited sources close to Abbas.
This is the same Olmert, you understand, who said he would not discuss these issues yet. And, of course, he’s talking to Abbas, who promised he’d have nothing to do with Hamas and yet is meeting with them.
It’s Abbas’s growing interaction with Hamas that takes the edge of this whole business, because it seems likely to make everything fall apart.
PA prime minister Fayyad has denied the Yediot Ahronot report. He says there are no “back channel” negotiations, although core issues are beginning to be discussed.
According to YNet, in his meeting with Hoyer and other Congressman in the delegation this week, Olmert said that an agreement, which was in the works, would not be implemented yet.
In truth, even if they are talking, it is highly unlikely that Abbas and Olmert are close to an agreement that could be implemented.
Abbas will hold out for his terms. Even the maximum Olmert might offer would not be something Abbas could sell to his people, especially as they have become more radicalized under Hamas influence: control of eastern Jerusalem, return to pre-’67 lines and right of return remain sacred principles for the Palestinians.
It is a mistake to think that Abbas will moderate in negotiations. It was Arafat’s refusal to budge on issues of refugees and Jerusalem that halted the negotiations in 2000, in spite of the huge package Barak was offering; and, which is little noted, Arafat’s deputy, Mahmoud Abbas was at his side making the same demands...
Bibi ping.
They need to check the title. The property where the Temple was built was owned by some guy named Arrunah. And David paid him for the land because when it comes to God there is a price to pay. So, the Temple Mount belongs to Israel and has for 3,000 years. Bring on a PM with the guts and fortitude to not negotiate this with the Palestinians. Bring on Bibi!
a deal with palistine’s
street-gang-of-the-week,
means exactly what?
Olmert is a real loser
May be a good time for an old fashioned 8.0 earthquake, epicenter: Dome of the Rock.
Why does Olmert continue to serve? If Israel was a sane nation, he would have been hung by a mob months ago.
Zechariah said it best...
Zec 12:2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah [and] against Jerusalem.
Zec 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
I don't think Olmert has a clue about the prophecies of the Bible concerning Israel and especially Jerusalem. He is like every other king of Israel in the OT.
All of that could have been done in June 1967, with no adverse effect to Israel. Instead the insane Israelis gave control to the Islamic "Wakf", and they have been digging up and destroying Jewish artifacts ever since. NOW if Israel tries to do so much as put up a scaffold within 100 yards of the Mount, Arabs will riot and the Security Council will get involved. Israel missed the boat.
Gonna be a biggie on the Mount of Olives. Of course, it will be very, very late in the game by then...
Zechariah 14
The Day of Punishment
1 The Lord's day of judging is coming when the wealth you have taken will be divided among you.
2 I will bring all the nations together to fight Jerusalem. They will capture the city and rob the houses and attack the women. Half the people will be taken away as captives, but the rest of the people won't be taken from the city.
3 Then the Lord will go to war against those nations; he will fight as in a day of battle.4 On that day he will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem. The Mount of Olives will split in two, forming a deep valley that runs east and west. Half the mountain will move toward the north, and half will move toward the south.5 You will run through this mountain valley to the other side, just as you ran from the earthquake when Uzziah was king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come and all the holy ones with him.
6 On that day there will be no light, cold, or frost.7 There will be no other day like it, and the Lord knows when it will come. There will be no day or night; even at evening it will still be light.
8 At that time fresh water will flow from Jerusalem. Half of it will flow east to the Dead Sea, and half will flow west to the Mediterranean Sea. It will flow summer and winter.
9 Then the Lord will be king over the whole world. At that time there will be only one Lord, and his name will be the only name.
The same Bibi who gave away Hebron as a favor to Clinton--who then sent Carville and Begala over to defeat him? No thanks. Only Avigdor Liberman has the balls to do what is required.
Red-herring title.
That one side makes intolerable demands in no way indicates the other side will fulfill them.
Sounds to me more like a thinly-veiled way to say “negotiations are over.” Sometimes the point of negotiations is the mere act of negotiating by itself - with no interest in actually getting anywhere.
Yeeee Gads, why doesn’t olmert give away all of Isreal? They have been giving away bits and pieces, pretty soon the palis will own the whole thing and tear it up, just as they’ve done with everything else Isreal has given them. And the palis will allow it to return to the desert it was before the Jews fixed it up. I don’t understand olmert, it looks like he doesn’t have a hair............on his head?
“the Abomination of Desolation”?
That was my first thought...
