#1 Israel also wants assurances that Palestinian refugees not be allowed to return to land inside Israel after the establishment of a Palestinian state.
What, is their own state not good enough for them? Or is someone worried that a Palestinian state might almost instantly collapse due to a decimation of infrastructure and population thanks to the misguided "intifada"? And where did anybody get the idea that they'd still be refugees if they had their own state? Something's off here, and it's not on Israel's side . . .

#2 "Any statement or language whose context does not coincide with the peace process or contradicts the road map ... will leave nothing for negotiations," Qureia said.

"We hope the U.S. administration, which isn't the main partner of the road map, will remain committed to its responsibilities ... and not give any language that is considered a reward for a party or a side at the expense of the other party. Otherwise, there will be no peace," he said.

If the US is not the main partner in the negotiations, then who is the main partner, Harvey?

#3 To HELL with the paleshitians. They've had their chances to live in peace, and all they want to do is kill innocent Israeli women and children. Then they point fingers at Israel and say; "they violated the peace process". Peace will only come when all paleshitians are dead.

This reminds me very little of a wonderful Middle East food store where I do my specialty shopping. The owners are Syrian Christians and we have lively discussions about Middle East politics.

Some time ago there was a major earthquake in Aleppo, Syria. I expressed concern for any relatives the shop owners might have in the region. They asked me for details and I mentioned how the quake struck in the older district where ancient wells were dug.

They replied; "Oh, that's the Moslem quarter, who cares what happens to them?" They went on to say that all Muslims should be executed and how the world would be a better place for it.

I asked them if they understood how holding such views gave the terrorists at least some justification for wanting to kill all Christians.

They were entirely unable to make the connection.

I'll join in with docob here and heartily recommend that Halfass Pete STFU with his bigoted crap. The Palestinians have made the absolute worst of choices about who should lead them. They deserve all the calumny and poverty that is happening to them. However, they do not all deserve to die for it.

#7 Anonymous2U, do you live in Israel or something? There are peaceful Palestinians who reject terrorism. They don't get a lot of airtime and they get He!!ish grief on the Arab street for it, but they do exist. We just have to weed out all of the Yassins and Arafats to find them. Admittedly, the weeding gets pretty tiresome at times.
