After spending weeks angrily insisting that any direct peace talks with the Palestinians be “unconditional,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today issued a number of demands for the talks to proceed.
Chief among these, Netanyahu demanded that the prospective Palestinian State not be allowed to have any military of its own and that it unconditionally recognize Israel as an eternal Jewish homeland.
The Palestinians, unsurprisingly, rejected the demands. They had previously demanded that the Israeli government negotiate around the 1967 borders and stop the demolition of Arab homes in occupied East Jerusalem. Again unsurprisingly, Israel rejected those demands.
The dueling demands and dueling rejections point to the difficulty with the direct peace talks, coming after weeks of failing indirect talks. The two sides appear to be irreconcilable on a number of issues, and it seems that Israel’s end to the West Bank settlement freeze next month could bring the talks to a screeching halt.
As we all know, peace would happen before lunch tomorrow if at breakfast Obama made it clear that there would be no more unconditional support for Israel from the US.
So what's new. The Zionists always throw a monkey wrench into every negotiation. They've been doing it for 60 years. They have no intention of allowing a Palestinian state. Their goal has always been to ethnic cleansing ( or annihilate) ALL Palestinians and to wipe out all evidence of there ever having been any such thing as Palestine. They want Eretz Israel, nothing less and they will commit every sin, atrocity, murder, starvation, impovrishment, imprisonment, torture, genocide. There is nothing the Zionists will not stoop to, no limit to the depths of depravity they will go to to achieve the grand plan for Eretz Israel and to rule the world withe the threat of te nuclear weapons.
Israel is pure EVIL.
We are on the same wavelength, Tom. Visit my blog CONTRAVIEWS http://contraviewing.blogspot.com
Netanyahu seems to like it on the headlines a lot.

This is not new as i have already wrote that will find excuses to block the talks as one Jew in berlin in 1990 told me that our exist is due to conflict with Arab otherwise Jewish state will breack as we are not a nation.
Natenyahu is too arrogant as he knows how to misuse american trust.
How can the Palestinians recognize Israel when Israel refuses to state the exact borders of the state of Israel? Does Israel consider all currently occupied land as the borders of Israel? NETANYAHU
wants the Palestinians to accept all the land of Palestine belongs to Israel and therefore the Palestinians will have NO state of their own.
DO NOT WIPE OUT THESE QUESTIONS AND REMARKS!
The theater is: meanwhile we will steal their land and talk more.., plane B.., if that doesn’t work: we demand and demand again.., but meanwhile we steal their land and demand more. Look Mr. President and king and queens and prim minister and etc. The only language that Israel ever would understand is a total boycotts of all relation with Israel.., otherwise you can talk and talk another 100 years the apartheid regime don’t understand what you or any others are talking about.., do you remember South Africa.., and how its brutal inhuman regime was brought down…, the country were boycotted by all nations around the world.., including US and EU.
The state of Israel is an island built on quicksand; its inhabitants believe that fish can drown.
