Israeli officials’ leaks to the press indicate that Israel seeks to downplay the chances of renewed negotiations with the Palestinian Authority (PA), even as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry attempts to get the talks restarted. …

The sources said that the PA’s demand to get a map of the final borders Israel wants to attain is unacceptable, and added that Israel will no grant the PA any far reaching concessions in return for resumption of negotiations. …

10-4 Israel. I hear ya!

The Palestinians want all their demands met as a condition to negotiate. Yet nobody calls them on this absurdity since GWB. It doesn’t matter the Palestinians really don’t want peace in the way we think of it. To have peace, a state of their own, normalization with Israel, means they have decide who they are, who will lead them, what kind of rules to live by etc. The rules of a normalized modern nation state are in direct conflict with the tenets of their religion. They will have to choose to ignore certain aspects of their religion, and surrender their ethnic chauvinistic beliefs that the land is “Arab land” and that Jews are not entitled to total self determination to get to where there is a real “peace deal”. For the Arab leader it is a death sentence to even suggest it, especially now that the Islamists are on the rise all around.

“Normalization with Israel” simply does not exist in the vocabulary of the “Palestinians”. They will stand firm on their notion that all of Israel is “Palestine”.
