Israelis and Palestinians to Open Direct Peace Talks in D.C. Before Labor Day

The Hamas should be at the peace talks, not Palestinians. They are the ones that determine whether or not there will be peace there.

the next time the palestiniana pipe up with a demand before the talks --here is what israel should do-----remind them the arabs LOST all the wars---and then demand an end to the curriculum of hate they teach every day in palestinian schools----and tell them if that continues no talks--tell them if hamas fires a missle into israel no talks-tell them if hezbollah acts up no talks-------------

The poster below, aroldfut, is as right on as anyone could be in his assessment of this. Nothing more to be said. Read it, it's the truth.

What it boils down to is Israel wants palestinian land and palestinians want to keep it.

I saw a picture of Clinton, Rabin, and Arafat together at another mideast peace meeting. Guess that one didn't work out the way Clinton planned. Quite presumptuous of Mr. O and Mrs. C to think that this will be any different. Hard to erase thousands of years of animosity.

Anybody want to bet this blows up in hillarys face? This is an election year smoke screen that will improve nothing in the middle east as a whole. Getting them together for a meeting is a fairly easy thing to do, regardless of how the media makes it sound like such a huge task. The proof will be in the pudding which I believe will be arriving at the table in less than a year.

And scientists said it couldn't be done.

This is like going to a New York Yankis Vs the Boston Red Sox ball game, but before the game begins, the Red Sox players are told, the umps will be siding with the Yankis.Yahwn !!!!....

I would like to know how the Palestinians can negotiate in good faith when they have 2 separate governments, one that continues to attack Israel almost daily and have never accepted any compromises that would have given them 95% of what they wanted and still turned it down. It is a complete waste of time unless the UN tells the Palestinians to accept Israel as a permanent State or they will stop receiving "refugee services and funds".....cut off the wallet and they will come to the table with serious intentions to get things done. Nothing else has ever worked.

P.Wolfowitz - architect to the war on Iraq - once said, the road to peace between Israelis and Palestininans is through Iraq"..., and off we went, riding on the wings of lies to war with Iraq.....; two days ago, the last of our combat troops - nothing has been said of the merceneries (a.k.a contractors); it's as if though, they don't exist or ever went to Iraq, and so what if every 6 months Rumsfeld would ask for another 100 millions to pay their salaries - remember them installments?.WELL............NOW THAT ALL THAT'S LEFT IN IRAQ are some 50K troops and the war has once again gone under cover, are we any closer to peace between Iraelis and Palestininans or was this just another web of lies and deceits to entrap our people in their reds of mass deceptions ????
