The Good News From Abbas

Here:

Palestinian President says he will not resume negotiations unless Israel freezes settlement construction and accepts the pre-1967 borders.

Of course, we have President Obama, not of the Palestinian Authority, to thank for that insistence on 1967. But that is a non-starter. Not in Jerusalem and not in Judea and Samaria and not on the Jordan River. They initiated the war and if "territorial compromise" is a principle, they have to first compromise on territory.

...an Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said disagreements emerged in the Amman talks but that his government remains committed to a year-end target for reaching a final peace deal. He said documents submitted by the Palestinians were "recycling" long-standing positions that Israel opposes.

I think we should all stand back from that table of non-negotiations and readjust ourselves to the reality of Arab incitement, hostility and unwillingness to recognize Israel as the Jewish state of the Jewish people in the Jewish homeland. With that subtext, peace is not an issue but rather the approach of "righting an historical wrong" that the Arabs seek.

Useless.
