| Palestinians Say Peace Talks Face Collapse over Settlement Expansion |
| 2013-08-14 |
| [An Nahar] Middle East peace talks could "collapse" due to continuing Israeli settlement expansion, a senior Palestinian official warned Tuesday, on the eve of the scheduled resumption of the fragile process. "Settlement expansion goes against the U.S. administration's pledges and threatens to cause the negotiations' collapse," Yasser Abed Rabbo told Agence France Presse. That's what routinely happens, isn't it? Release a bunch of prisoners, then the talks collapse because of something the Zionist Entity did. |

| #10 I'd like to see Israel state that they have a non-negotiable demand: The paleos have to amend their charter to eliminate the section that calls for the destruction of Israel before they even start talking. Until then, no tickee, no washee. Bring popcorn: watch heads explode, see Kerry's phrench panties get in a wad. :-D |

| #8 The Palestinians always find some excuse to stop the talks. If it isn't settlements, it's something else. |

| #6 meanwhile, four lines above this one, Kerry says Abbas is committed to 'pursuing' talks. Until they stop receiving giveaways, I suppose. |

| #5 We were not going to get shit out of these "talks" anyway. We still need to re-settle those who were kicked out of Gush Katif from the last "peace" talks. |

| #1 Unless both Egypt + Jordan agree to give up thier claims of soveriegnty on the Gaza Strip + West Bank, the PA is nothing more than a GOVT-IN-EXILE = "SOVERIEGN"? GOVT-STATE WID NO GEOGRAPHIC TERRITORY TO TRULY CALL ITS OWN. I suppose delusional pretense can serve a good, albeit subjective or altruistic, purpose in keeping Paleo-specific hope alive for a future time. |
