Abbas tells Kerry Israeli goodwill gestures insignificant, says PA official
The Times of Israel ^ | 6/29/2013 | YIFA YAAKOV

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Friday told US Secretary of State John Kerry, currently visiting the Middle East, that Israel’s goodwill gestures were too insufficient for the resumption of peace talks, the Chinese news agency reported early Saturday.

Kerry, currently on his fifth Middle East visit in three months, is shuttling between Amman and Jerusalem, meeting Abbas and Netanyahu in his latest effort to restart negotiations. No concrete progress has been reported from his efforts.

>>SNIP<<

The official reportedly said Israel would have to freeze settlement building and accept a two-state solution with pre-1967 borders for talks between the two sides to continue, adding that Abbas had told Kerry as much during their meeting in Amman.

How about a Conference to discuss how Abbas funded
the Munich Olypmics Atrocities, and how the
families of those murdered by him fared?

When it comes to some of the serious stuff even many conservatives want to defer as if these people are competent or know what they are doing, out of respect for the office I presume. However, Kerry and his ilk in a sense do know what they are doing. I believe their agendas and aims to be traitorous and malevolent at all times and they have demonstrable track records to boot.
It is both a sad day and a long time coming when Americans have to face the facts; but this sort of thing has been going on for much longer than people think - although today’s variety does seem to be particularly inept and twisted across the board.

I was listening to a conservative talking head on the radio yesterday go on and on about the Arab Spring saying it was a spontaneous event and I had to disagree with most of his appraisal. The US had their agents stirring the pot long before the initial eruption. Maybe I should say - this administration - . I guess what I’m getting at is the USA and it’s operatives aren’t the good guys anymore and when conservatives defer to the paradigm that we are (these fools have info we don’t so we’ll leave it at that - they are obviously doing what is best for the country) it is foolishly naive. It is strange and too much for many people to get their heads around.

excuse my poor grammar - I’m not thinking so clearly this morning.

Or the discussion about the Palestinian killer of Prez Kennedy. Or the Palestinians in the first world trade center bombing.

The Palestinian Political Party, the gift that just keeps on taking.

Yes. The only thing saving us from complete subversion by the foreign agent moles and traitors is their amazing incompetence. But they’re still doing a lot of damage.

Shuttle diplomacy. I wonder what level of hubris makes Kerry think he can succeed where a figure like Kissinger, at the apex of his power and influence came away empty handed?
