#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.

#2 Settlements work. That is why the Palestinians are so afraid of them.

Settlements= WINNING.

#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.

#6 meanwhile, four lines above this one, Kerry says Abbas is committed to 'pursuing' talks.

Until they stop receiving giveaways, I suppose.

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

#9 Used to be they would blow up a bus or cafe or something to kill a peace deal.

#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
