Palestinians accuse Clinton of hurting peace talks Nov.1 2009 By AMY TEIBEL, Associated Press JERUSALEM – The Palestinians on Sunday accused U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton of undermining progress toward Mideast peace talks after she praised Israel for offering to curb some Jewish settlement construction. After meeting Israeli and Palestinian leaders during a visit Saturday, Clinton called for an unconditional resumption of peace talks and welcomed Israel's offer for a slowdown in settlement activity. But Palestinians rejected the idea of resuming talks, reiterating their demand that Israel must first freeze all construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem — lands they claim for a future state. "I believe that the U.S. condones continued settlement expansion," Palestinian government spokesman Ghassan Khatib said in a rare public chiding of Washington. "Calling for a resumption of negotiations despite continued settlement construction doesn't help because we have tried this way many times," Khatib added. "Negotiations are about ending the occupation and settlement expansion is about entrenching the occupation." Palestinians expressed deep disappointment and frustration at Clinton's words, which signaled a departure from past U.S. calls for a complete freeze on settlement activity. for complete article click here:  Cinton hurting peace talks?__________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I thought there might be a glimmer of hope when the U.S. was insisting on a complete freeze on settlements. So much for that......  |

If Palestinians think they can get part of Jerusalem peace talks will not happen as long as Netanyahu is in charge. May he live a looong life! Jerusalem is an Israeli city, mentioned numerous time in the Bible. It is not mentioned in the Koran, not even once! |

Beancounter: The prophesy is that the Hebrew-originated Jews will be expelled from Jurusalem because God divorced that adulterous nation from His holy city. There is no prophesy that they, the Jews, ever returned -- or that southern Russian Ashkenazi wannabe Jews would infest the holy city of Jerusalem, which they do to this day. If you can factor in 'Gomer' to your pseudo-religion calculations, and make it Biblically Correct (BC), give it your best shot; but until then, you haven't a clue as to what you are talking about, buddy. True Jews are of Hebrew origin, not Turk/Mongolid. Your Jews have no legitimate claim to the Holly Land -- period; after all, they are Russian, not Hebrew. Bottom line: The Palestians have a more legitimate claim to the so-called Holy Land than do any Russian Jews. RO |
