re: #450 brookly red

The Israelis have been saying for months decades that they are willing to talk. The Pali response is to demand concessions before they even agree to a meeting.

ahem, fuck them.

Obama handed the Pals the reason to do nothing on a silver platter.
Once Obama decided that the “settlements” were the problem ( Vs. arab intolerance for a non muslim state in the region) and entered into a public confrontation with Israel about that, the arabs all took their cue.
It was a catastrophic mistake and it was highly predictable.
