Fatah official says two-state solution is over (Obama "Peace Process" a Failure)

The Palestinian Authority has concluded that the peace process based on a two-state solution has failed, a senior Fatah official said on Tuesday.

His statement came as PA officials repeated their rejection of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s proposal to extend the settlement construction moratorium if the Palestinian leadership recognized Israel as a Jewish state.

But the US urgently sought to keep talks going, and called on the Palestinians to present their own counter-proposal to keep things on track.

Mahmoud Aloul, a member of the Fatah Central Committee, said that Israel’s “racist policies” were meant to undermine the peace process.

“The Palestinian Authority made every effort to avoid reaching this conclusion, but Israeli racist policies led to the failure of the peace process,” he added.

Aloul accused the US administration of failing to exert pressure on Israel to alter its policies and halt settlement construction.

“The Americans left us no choice but to stop the peace negotiations,” he said. “The Palestinian leadership has briefed the Arab leaders on the difficult situation, and we have asked them to start taking real measures on the ground.”

PLO negotiators Saeb Erekat and Nabil Sha’ath also reiterated their refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish state.

Also:

“Yasser Abed Rabbo, a senior PLO official and advisor to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, has come under attack for expressing his willingness to recognize Israel as a Jewish state.

Abed Rabbo was quoted as saying on Wednesday that the Palestinians would be willing to recognize Israel in any way that it desires if the US Administration and Israeli government recognized the 1967 lines as the borders of a future Palestinian state.

The top PLO official was responding to US State Department Spokesman Phillip Crowley’s announcement that the Palestinians should respond to the Israeli demand of recognizing Israel as a Jewish state in return for the extension of a moratorium on settlement construction.

Abed Rabbo’s remarks were interpreted by many Palestinians as recognition of Israel as a Jewish state – a position that contradicts the official PA policy. A number of Palestinians factions, including the ruling Fatah faction in the West Bank, strongly condemned Abed Rabbo and called for his firing.”

Bibi played 'em, and played Obama. That's why he gets to be boss. Make your enemy an offer he can't . . . accept. If the offer is right, the refusal reveals the enemy's stark evil in one stroke, in front of not only his co-conspirators, but before his self-deluding collaborators, such as the EU and the Obamanauts.

How's that again, Muzzie? You're saying you want to be a Muzzie state, but Israel's not allowed to be a Jewish state? Not very, er, inclusive. And you get how many billions in aid from the West, in addition to the West's oil money, laundered by the Saudis?

Dear, maybe there's another charity we could give to this year.

They couldn't care less.

"Peace process" DOA. Whaddasupprise. The arrogance of obama thinking he could succeed where his betters have failed, and the obtuseness of the media in not scoring this failure from the start, only means this charade will be repeated at a later date, when the mooj think they can extract additional concessions from Israel.

As history illustrates repeatedly, this attempt at "peacemaking' will increase the risk of violence. Nice work, Bamster, ya chump.

One can hope.....but I doubt this snake is dead yet. Hussein will find a way to keep the dream of Israel with Auschwitz borders alive.

If you want Israel to take risks for peace, the best way is to make Israel feel that its staunch friend America is behind it." "You are absolutely wrong," the president replied. "For the past eight years [under the Bush administration], Israel had a friend in the United States and it didn't make peace." [/snip]
