2. An exercise in futility
Lynx ,   Palestine   (03.05.14)
Abbas is illegitimate. He is not authorized to sign on behalf of Palestinians globally speaking. Therefore, Abbas can only afford to reiterate the most basic Palestinian demands and rights. The PLO/PA have already recognized Israel as a painful necessity to spare our people more mysery and accept a skewed form of justice in the holy land in the form of the 2-nation concept. That's as far as it goes. No Palestinian today will accept any "Jewish" state because that is tantamount to denying our own history and narrative, which of course, will never happen. Me thinks this Jewish state dream is but a spanner in the wheel, in typical Netanyahu fashion.
3. Abbas and the PLO are like a dry quarter lemon
Lynx ,   Palestine   (03.05.14)
...There is simply no juice left. All concessions and compromises have already been agreed since 1948. For proof, compare the map of 1947 with 2014. There would be no Israel today without the mass expulsion of 700,000 Arab Palestinians in 1948. On the other hand, Palestinian Arabs between River and Sea constitute a majority, and all fantasies of so-called transfer or Jordan-is-Palestine as parroted by the likes of Sarah B. have proved to be giant balloon of hot air. I suggest you down the bitter pill...called Reality.
4. lynx, why don't you do the same

regarding "reality pill". There was no expulsion of 700,000 of you lot in 1948. Not by the Israeli government, anyway. The vast majority left willingly, promised rich plunder of Jewish properties, once they returned. Well, Israel won. And owes absolutely nothing to the masses of so-called refugees and their ever-increasing descendants.
5. Obama Netanyahu meeting
Jack winard ,   Boston   (03.05.14)
"A senior Obama administration official told AFP that the issue of US-brokered Israeli-Palestinian peace talks was the dominant topic in the White House meeting between Obama and Netanyahu on Monday." What senior official, surely his/her name is known. And why hasn't obama himself stated that he will pressure Abbas to make concessions. And what concessions will Obama demand. Obama has no heitation to making demands on Netanyahu and these demands are made by Obama himself.
6. #3 cry me a river
(03.05.14)
You guys started the war and started the ethnic cleansing of Jews. Where is Bet Arava? Where are the Jews of Shchem, Hevron, Shiloach and of course Jerusalem? In 1920 you and your British allies started a nasty war against the Jews. In fact, most of you are foreign immigrants that came with the British. During that war from 1920 you guys methodically ethnically cleansed Jews where you could. When your British allies went home in 1948, you guys made a push to destroy us, you lost. As the saying goes, "he hit me, then he cried"
