| Palestinians will never recognize Israel as Jewish state: Abbas |
| 2014-04-27 |
| [Iran Press TV] Acting Paleostinian Authority (PA) chief the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... says Paleostinians will never recognize Israel as a "Jewish state." Abbas made the remarks at the meeting of the Central Council of the Paleostinian Liberation Organization (PLO) in Ramallah in the occupied West Bank on Saturday. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has put the recognition of a Jewish state as a precondition for any talks on a Paleostinian state. On Thursday, the Israeli regime canceled the so-called peace talks with the Paleostinian Authority, after the Paleostinian resistance movement Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, and PLO signed a deal on Wednesday to form a joint government. Tel Aviv pledged to take retaliatory measures against the agreement, saying that it will not deal with any Paleostinian government which includes Hamas. Netanyahu also said the deal was a "blow to Israel" and is "killing" the talks between Tel Aviv and the Paleostinian Authority. Abbas has said the deal does not contradict the negotiations the Paleostinian Authority is pursuing with Israel. The talks between the Paleostinian Authority and the Israeli regime reached a deadlock last month when Tel Aviv refused to free the last group of 104 Paleostinian prisoners in late March as part of a deal for the resumption of the US-sponsored negotiations. Since the resumption of the direct talks in July 2013, Paleostinians have objected to a number of issues, including the Israeli regime's illegal settlement expansion in the occupied Paleostinian territories. According to the Paleostinian sources, the issue of the settlement activities in the occupied Paleostinian territories remains as the main obstacle to the peace in the region. |

| #2 so much for Jahn's Nobel Peace Prize I wouldn't be too sure. The accomplishment bar was set pretty low back in 2009. |
