What your ship needs is the buoying of honesty, reality and fact.

“Perhaps Mahmoud Abbas and his chief negotiator can tell us what they have achieved during these two months when they sat face to face with the Israeli leaders?”

They got nothing because they asked for nothing. Israel stopped any building for ten months, yet Abbas waited nine months to talk…why? Gee, maybe because he could then manipulate (again) the press into blaming Israel…even though Netanyahu called THREE times for talks… Or was it four? Now, with the Wikileaks cables, we know that Netanyahu WAS truly interested in talks. What would he have done with them? Who knows, but what we DO know is that he at least would sit at a table.

“However Mahmoud Abbas and his team are willing to negotiate until the last dunum of what is left of Palestine.”

Yep. Sad. Genuinely sad. Yet – you blame Israel more than them for many of your people’s ills. Interesting. On BOTH sides, over 70% of the people want peace, but Israel is a democracy – they will make peace if someone truly offers peace. Too bad that there is no democracy with your people, ‘eh? If there was, then maybe 242 can be actuated and a border can be agreed-upon.

Or, you can just keep blaming the Israelis. You can just blame everyone.

Or, you can call for preconditionless peace talks.

It’s really your choice.
