Netanyahu In Letter To Kerry: Abbas Incites Against Israel
2013-08-11
Not that it matters, because The Two Smartest Men In The Room couldn't be less interested. But at least it's on record.
[Ynet] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent a letter to US Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State...
, in which he accused Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
of incitement against Israel.

PMO sources said that the letter mentioned quotes in which Abbas speaks against Israeli presence in the future Paleostinian state, and additional quotes from the official Paleostinian television broadcasts. "Incitement and peace cannot go hand in hand," Netanyahu wrote in the letter.

#3  Alan, I would have used much stronger language than that.

That is probably why it is good that you and I are not diplomats.

#2  kinds of machinations on top of that

Gee, my Lord, your are a master at understated euphemisms.

I would have said that they are lying back-stabbers.

#1  iiuc, the us-israel agreement that catalyzed the current 'negotiations' has a clause which requires the US to explicitly call out any substantial PA incitement

of course like most diplo stuff, the actual wording has various terms of art which allow parties to disagree on what they are required to do, and, or course, well obama's team is capable of kinds of machinations on top of that
