The current round of so-called peace talks between Israel and Palestine is marked by so much bad faith on the part of the Israelis that only the corruption and perfidy of the Mahmoud Abbas government in the West Bank can explain why the Palestinians should subject themselves to such exploitation and humiliation.

Israel just issued tenders for over 1,700 new homes for Israelis on the Palestinian West Bank. The plan will involve demolishing Palestinian residences. This, at a time when Israel and the Palestinians are supposedly engaged in good faith negotiations that might end in a Palestinian state. At this rate, where would you even put one? (Another 3,000 such Israeli squatter homes are planned).

Israel is planning to dig for oil in the Occupied West Bank, in violation of the Oslo Accords and of the laws governing military occupations. Israel is likewise preventing Palestinians in Gaza from developing their offshore natural gas resources.

5. It makes you wonder why God put Israel's oil under the Palestinian's land n/t

Unscrewing the inscrutable is an exercise in frustration.

t seems Israel's participation in peace talks becomes an obvious sham

[polly7]

10. Any talk of peace by Israel that involves Palestinians gaining back

any ground or rights has always been a sham, imho.

11. Don't worry Palestinians, help is on the way.
