He just called Abbas out and asked for peace talks today at the UN. If Abbas turns him down then Netanyahu wins.
I love Bibi.... He is so awesome!

Abbas speech preceded Netanyahu’s.

Drudge headline on Abbas speech:
‘We shall not recognize a Jewish state’...

reply from Former Festus:
“According to the article you linked, Abbas said that in a meeting with some 200 senior representatives of the Palestinian community in the US, shortly before taking the podium and delivering a speech at the United Nations General Assembly. Very different from what he said from the podium. Taqqiyah at its best! “

my reply:
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told the UN General Assembly Friday that he is ready to return to peace talks with Israel based on 1967 borders.
Speaking moments after he submitted a formal request for the United Nations to recognize Palestinian statehood, Abbas urged Israelis to “come to peace.”
“We extend our hands to the Israeli government and the Israeli people for peacemaking,” Abbas said in a speech setting out his case to the UN General Assembly, which greeted him with a standing ovation.
