Abbas: End of settlement freeze would end direct peace talks

Renewed Israeli construction in settlements after the end of the construction freeze in late September would bring the newly-launched direct negotiations to a grinding halt, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has warned in letters sent to U.S. President Barack Obama, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and the High Representative of the European Union on Foreign Policy, Catherine Ashton. "It's impossible to conduct negotiations alongside settlement construction," wrote Abbas. The future of the construction freeze in West Bank settlements is expected to become the first significant obstacle facing the Israeli and American governments in the direct talks.

Here we go again! Time to drag out our well-worn cartoon frame of Peanuts and the football.

Israel's enemies have no intention whatsoever of entering into any kind of talks that might end up bring peace to the region. Talks are used for nothing more than to get some controversy going and to buy time.

And another President is falling for the same old song and dance routine.

Wake me when it's over.

B.S.
“perce talks” so far have produced Israeli concessions and pali beligerence.
Pull out of these one way give aways and tell em all to kiss your rear Bibi.

Hey President Mahmoud:

I'm planning to visit Israel at the end of September. I'm just wondering if this will be okay with you.

Sincerely,

I'm getting tired of these terrorists making irrational demand when they still

1) DO NOT ACCEPT THE RIGHT OF ISRAEL TO EXIST

2) Open the brders, and tear down the walls, even quash Dimona and other areas WHEN they lay down their weapons and 20+ hostile nations agreee( no taqiyya BS) that Israel is a nation, will esist as a nation and will kill any SOB who doesn't think Israel is a peaceful nation( ha ha sounds like one of their own stupid signs)
