Addressing the latest round of stalled peace talks, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has warned that no future talks will take place with Israel unless Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agrees to a full settlement freeze.
Israel had imposed a partial freeze in 2010, but cancelled it in the face of overwhelming opposition among its far-right coalition members. Abbas claimed Netanyahu had offered a “government only” freeze but that 90 percent of the construction was actually privately organized and only state subsidized.
Netanyahu, for his part, angrily condemned Abbas, saying that the Palestinian President had rejected the idea of peace by agreeing on a unity government with Hamas, saying it amounted to embracing Iran, a nation which Israel is constantly threatening to attack.
“Abbas prefers to link to the terror organization Hamas,” insisted Netanyahu. Talks have been almost non-existent between Israel and the PA at any rate, and the repeated threats to end talks to punish Abbas for reconciling with Hamas seem mostly meaningless.

Then Mr Abbas is on the same side as any thinking rational human being who does not want this world plunged into another war – global this time.
Mr Netanyahu is an anti-semite of the worst kind.
He may hold Israeli nationality but his name is bogus an he is of polish descent.
His parents were poles and he is polish to all intents and purposes. He hasn't a semite bone in his body yet like other Eastern Europeans he occupies the land of the real semite Palestinians.
He murders them, tortures them, imprisons them, dispossesses them. Builds wall to keep them out of their own lands, beggars them and commits genocide against them.
We should take a leaf out of the hymn sheet of these eastern european phonies.
Deal with them as they claim anti-semites should be dealt with and send them home where they belong.
They are a scourge to the planet, terrorists and warmongers.
We need peace and these people are consumed with greed and violence which knows no bounds.
And please tell me just who Mr. Habbas is supposed to embrace? Israel? The US?
Benjamin Netanyahu – is there a bigger LIAR than is he? – is there a bigger war monger than is he? – is there a bigger terrorist than is he?
Logic 101 from "Bibi", who drove his own psychiatrist to suicide.
Are we going to allow this madman to start WW III ?
this zionists never make a point, its amazing
"Lack of Peace Talks”: For last 60 years Israel being able and supported by US and EU stealing the Palestine's land and their freedom, now this man blames everything on Abbas, if is not Abbas then is the president of US or EU governments not supporting him enough and Etc. If is not the peace then is Iranian to be blamed, or Turkish and others. His policy is simply based on the facts that Israel never wanted to have any kind of peace not only with Palestinians but with any countries in the region, he and other regime in Israel rather have and or see more turmoil in Middle East then having any peace, Israel and US – NATO are welcoming such scenario because they themselves encouraging the idea, if nothing it well create momentum for US and EU militarism regimes to invade Lebanon, Syria and Iran, or the idea well create more time for Israel to come up with yet another blaming or the time situation buying more time.
Bibi has a problem. Lieberman is sounding like a rational individual when one looks at Bibi. Bibi is the product of a rich college professor who lived on the mainline philadelphia. Someone confused bibi and he now believes he suffered as a kid.
I really hope we is successful in Israel because the USA is just plum full of nuts and we sure do not need him back.
“Abbas prefers to link to the terror organization Hamas,” insisted Netanyahu.
And Netanyahu prefers to link to the terror organization MEK.
TERROR: A physical or psychological violent act the purpose being to gain submission. Abbas acts are defensive, not offensive. Netanyahu is purely offensive, and are terrifying to the world.
Dear Admins, why you guys keep censuring my comments over and over?
Netanyahu reminds me of Stalin when he said "promises are like pie crust, made to be broken." He's an amoral man. He functions outside God's code of conduct. There is nothing he won't say or do to further the Zionist's goal. Stalin also said, tell lie 6 times and it becomes truth. When he says something you have to apply Reagan's logic. "TRUST, BUT VERIFY." The problem is he and AIPAC have our foreign policy with ring in it's nose. Abbas on the other hand has shown himself as a man of integrity and truth. But who in America is seeking out truth? We've been trained to react to what ever comes out of the district of criminals.
Of course there wouldnt be a Hamas if it wasnt for Mossad and the Israelies trying to overthrow the PLO. Hamas is the Mossads Prized Blowback fixture!
Israel grows more and more demented, rabid and desperate by the day to the extend that today, they actually pulled false flags in India and Georgia. They are so blatantly obvious that they don't even bother changing their MO anymore. After all, who cares? It's not as if anyone is pointing a finger at them or anything.
