Speaking today in a meeting with his Montenegrin counterpart, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman ruled out any future negotiations with the upcoming Palestinian unity government, saying Israel won’t recognize the Palestinians at all.
“Israel will not recognize it, will not negotiate with it, and will not transfer it even one dime,” Lieberman said, referring to the long-standing deal by which Israel transfers collected taxes to the Palestinian Authority.
Israel regularly halts the forwarding of their collected taxes to the Palestinians as punishment for perceived diplomatic slights. Indeed, Israel isn’t forwarding the money as it is, having halted early this month after the Palestinians were recognized by UNESCO.
“Israel will not transfer money to those who are interested in destroying it,” Lieberman added. Even though he insisted that the money would never be forwarded to the new government, there is no indication that the Israeli government will stop collecting those taxes.
When has Israel ever really negotiated?
Lieberman former profession was bar bouncer. Lieberman is such a terrible person that he gives bar bouncers bad name. Lieberman sure has to lot to explain as to how he is superior to others. The fact that Israel allows such a person to be the face of Israel to the world is an amazing case of how stupid otherwise smart people are. I guess they feel that it does not matter what they do because they own the United States and there is nothing that the people of the United States can do. Well lets hope that the current disapprove of our congress helps eliminate the professional politicians that present plague our congress and senate. One big improvement would be to have one senator and one representative in congress for every state. Can you imagine the billions that would be paid in bribes going to something productive? Our present elected senators and congressmen can slip into Israel in walking the hero welcome parade the Israel wants to give J. Pollard.
STOP THE PALESTINIAN HOLOCAUST ONCE FOR ALL
