Most of them point to Netanyhu's statement that Israel must be recognized as a JEWISH state as a roadblock to peace. Of course that is just a ruse. When the United Nations created Israel via resolution 181 in 1947, it called for the creation of an Arab State and a Jewish state, Israel is what the Jews named their state.

Nimer Hamad, senior political adviser to PA President Mahmoud Abbas, also said the PA is not concerned about Netanyahu's policies since Abbas relies on American support for key Palestinian demands.

Their goal - to produce at least the outline of an agreement between Israelis and Palestinians by the time president Bush left office - was widely regarded as completely unrealistic, and quite a few commentators dismissed the initiative as just more "peace processing." But when Israel's new foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman recently declared quite undiplomatically that the Annapolis process was over and done with, commentators united in a chorus of indignation - apparently, they didn't like to hear that Lieberman thought they were right all along.

Netanyahu made the call during a major policy speech about his Mideast peacemaking intentions.
