Israel announced the fourth batch of 26 Palestinian prisoners was not released Saturday night, March 30, because the Palestinians had meanwhile applied to 15 UN agencies and conventions and threatened to have international courts “convict Israel’s leaders as war criminals.”The Palestinians Thursday upped their price for returning to negotiations, including recognition of the 1967 lines as borders of a future Palestinian state with east Jerusalem its capital; the release of 1,200 prisoners, including multiple murderer Marwan Barghouti and Ahmad Saadat.

Israel hit back with penalties, including the suspension of high-level bilateral communications between governments and the relegation of Palestinian affairs to the Government Coordinator Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordecai; a freeze on the release of third-generation cell phone technology to Palestinian Authority-ruled areas and an end to communications equipment exports to the Palestinian cell phone company owned by Mahoud Abbas’s sons. Finally, the 14,000 dunams of Jordan Valley land already allocated to Palestinian farmers would be held up. The Israeli government said further punitive measures were under consideration

The “Palestinian” territories will never be self-governing, with or without Israel’s assistance. They have no interest in governance, any more than the Mafia wishes to be the face of the government in Sicily. What organized authority exists there is only for the purpose of running a guerrilla action endlessly against Israel, but it is not to establish a legitimate government. Even, if by some strange twist of fortunes, the entire Jewish population were miraculously relocated intact to another place on the planet, and the “Palestinians” were free to occupy the premises, within months the entire region would simply be a merging of the distressed conditions now existing in Gaza and the West Bank, and most of the improvements would be degraded to ruins, with little commercial or cultural activity.

The “Palestinians” do not wish to negotiate. They can only destroy and spread ruin in their wake.

Thanks Dave346.
