You can never “negotiate peace” with a country that has your destruction written into their constitution!..... The “One Israel” Solution is the only peace!

[bert]

-——for his responsibility in the missile attacks targeting Israeli cities,——

This is news to me. I don’t recall any rocket attacks from the West Bank and the PA. I thought the rockets all came from Gaza fired by Hamas

Then there is Abbas and Jordan. I thought Jordan lost the west bank in a war and no longer has a claim on the territory

BTW...... I watched Laurence of Arabia over the weekend. Close and careful viewing of that movie reveals much about the Arab mind set that is presently undergoing the pain of change. Watch the movie and be attentive to what the Arab leaders do and say. Note also that while there is Islam, the motivating forces in the movie are economic and political. Although against Free Republic dogma, most of that world functions under the same motivating forces today

Abbas may be at odds with a few palies, but generally, he is doing the job he was “elected” to do for the palie people.

Note also that while there is Islam, the motivating forces in the movie are economic and political. Although against Free Republic dogma, most of that world functions under the same motivating forces today.

Note also Islam is a political/economic religion. It is a wholecloth with no separation of authority between the secular and the spiritual. With Islam the secular and the spiritual are indivisible.

That, my FRiend, is FR doctrine, not dogma.

I’m bookmarking this for later read and maybe the author says what I’m about to say here (which I’ll read later), but I don’t think the palis want any of those things, peace... not even a state. They only want one thing: All Jews Dead.

[bert]

Dogma, doctrine...... the same in this case. Those not suffering from ignorance know better

Abbas and Arafart before him have not “failed” the Paleostinian people. They never promised them anything except perpetual warfare until defeating the Jews. The PLO leadership (and the HAMAS leadership)have told their people a million times, “you will suffer, be a “shahid” ot martyr until that glorious day when we perform genocide on the Jews.

There is no disappointment in Jersualem, Tel Aviv, Cairo, Beirut, Damascus or any other place in the region. All the players there know the truth. The Paleostinians do not want peace but military victory. This is true in 2015 just as it was true in 1917. Only the West lives under the niave delusion that the Arabs want peace. Look at what they're doing to each other right now. Doesn't that tell you?

The Paleostinans get their well-deserved asses kicked more brutally by their Arab “brothers” than the Israelis.

[Louis Foxwell]

Do you make these assertions as the sole arbiter of truth or have you an axe upon which you are grinding away?

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

That is a very naive piece. Abbas’s priorities are as follows:

1) Stay in power without getting assassinated.
2) Increase power if at all possible.
3) Keep the money flowing in from foreign suckers. Steal most of it.
4) Get anything he can from Israel while giving nothing back.
5) Reward his friends among the Paleos, while punishing his enemies.

At no time is “peace” even considered. It is a non-starter.

[bert]

The ax is truth.

[Louis Foxwell]

Precisely what is this truth you hold in such regard?

[bert]

That The vast majority of the world Islamic population are not rabid fanatics intent on the destruction of the Christian west and are not the fanatics many FReepers believe they are

[Louis Foxwell]

Aha. History is not your friend.

You are looking backward and cant see what's what. You don't know half of what you think you know

[Louis Foxwell]

Dubai, home to every form of terrorist. Castles do not portend men of peace. They are most often fortifications, redoubts of plundering armies.
Judge yourself as you judge others. That will put you on top of the truth.
BTW your graphic did not print.

FYI

[Eleutheria5]

“He failed to lead the Palestinian Authority (PA) toward peace with Israel, and he mismanaged the alleged goal to achieve statehood for the Palestinians.”

How can he ‘fail’ at that which never was his goal in the first place? His goal was to get in power, stay in power, and loot billions for his private use from gullible westerners, undermine Israel and discretely arrange for the deaths of random Jooos! at every opportunity. He succeeded at all of that. As for the Falestinian Feofle, as his own lieutenants have said every now and then, they don’t exist. There are Arabs, indistinguishable from other Arabs elsewhere, and they don’t care about a Palestinian State either, and they’re opposed to peace as well.

[Louis Foxwell]

Really says it all. The so called leadership of all of these terrorist groups are warlords living in castles on the Mediterranean in absolute luxury, completely separated from the peons who serve them with their blood.
Terrorism is a confidence scam with true believers murdering and dying for the personal benefit of their leaders. They are nothing different than an eastern mafia.
