Why would the PA keep any post-treaty commitments? We know that Hamas will not.
Does Kerry think it would be better for Israel to approach negotiations from a position of precarious poverty?

True peace is something that evolves when neither side aims to destroy the other one.
The Chinese proposal gives nothing to Israel except a vague "right to exist" — which of course is in not question regarding any other nation. Indeed, it could have been dictated by Mahmoud Abbas.
As Obama visits the region, he would do well to take the following facts into consideration.

We must remember, too, that Abbas has said no Jews would be allowed to live anywhere in a Palestinian state.
Israel must respond to its Western neighbor's recognition of Palestinian statehood.
Palestinian terror seeks national self-determination but shouts endlessly to the world that even after statehood violence will continue against 'The Jews.'
For the Palestinians and for the Arab/Islamic world as a whole, the "Zionist Problem" is merely a surface manifestation of the "Jewish Problem."
Ayalon's new position on the Palestinian statehood doesn't quite match his prior criticism of the Palestinian's bid for statehood at the UN.
The thugs on the ground in Europe and the Obama Administration now simply want to impose the UN’s diktat on Israel.

Liberals would than blame Israel than examine the faulty assumptions that comprise their worldview.

If you are really being so hurt by the existence and growth of settlements then make peace fast and get rid of them.

A Palestinian state would not only fail to bring peace and stability to the region, but would increase the tension and instability to the region.
The poll comes on the heels of another set of polls which claimed that Israelis supported the two-state solution by a two-thirds margin.
There is as little chance of the conditions described in the poll being fulfilled as there being a porcine airlift.
A recent poll claims that most right-wing Israelis would support Palestinian state and the division of Jerusalem, but that is a very misguiding description of Israeli public opinion.
A policy of appeasing the US and EU can only aid the Arabs in their project to weaken Israel and slice away at it, bit by bit.

"Palestine," shouted Mashaal to his audience, was Arabic, Islamic, from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River; his audience chanted its support.

The idea that Obama is now backing Israel is what American Jewish voters who supported him desperately need to believe.

Those who insist that the "settlements" represent the biggest obstacle to peace should be asked to explain why their theory doesn't match with the history.
By Barry Rubin
The Washington Post is suggesting that greater military success for terrorism will lead to Middle East peace.
The biggest obstacle to peace, of course, is the Palestinian intention to establish an Arab state from the river to the sea.
Even after the New York Times issued a remarkable correction, the paper's bureau chief claims she was essentially correct in writing that construction in E-1 would cut Judea and Samaria in two.
By Amin Farouk
Al-Jazeera TV is owned by Hamas supporter Emir of Qatar.
The EU has been following the PA line in condemning Israeli construction in E-1, calling for Palestinian unity, and voting for a unilateral Palestinian state.
Why is the world obsessed with what isn't there and, even if it were, would do no harm.
When can we finally put the idea of the “two-state solution” out of its misery?
It is striking to see that within the EU there is but one country courageous enough to stand with Israel: the Czech Republic.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas apparently believes that the Palestinians would not be able to survive for one day without him. This must be why whenever he faces criticism from Palestinians, Abbas resorts to his old-new threat to resign. Abbas is convinced that if he steps down -- as his critics and a growing number of Palestinians are demanding -- the Palestinian Authority will collapse and his people will face a new "nakba" [catastrophe]. But the truth is that the Palestinians would be better off in the post-Abbas era.
For the moment, at least, a state of Palestine does not exist. Historically, of course, such a country has never existed. Nonetheless, current supporters of Palestinian statehood (sometimes Jews as well as Arabs) have discovered substantial practical benefit in persistently referring to Israel and "Palestine" as if there were some existing legal equivalence between them. Indeed, repeated again and again, ritualistically, as if it were an incantation, such propagandistic usage is already transforming "Palestine" into a jurisprudential fait accompli.
So while some of us were celebrating the Jewish New Year and taking the last couple of days off from politics, it appears a video has more or less decided the election. That’s the assumption of much of the mainstream media about the impact of the release of the video of Mitt Romney speaking back in May at a private fundraiser about the 47 percent of the country that doesn’t pay taxes. They think this means it’s time to put a fork in the Republican candidate.
By Barry Rubin
Of course, Romney was correct in what he said. Indeed, he was merely stating the obvious. In the current upside-down era, telling the truth is heresy, or at least there are powerful establishment figures who try to make it seem so.
In a candid video at a fundraiser earlier this year, Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney doubts the logic of establishing a Palestinian state. state would remain demilitarized.
We were disappointed by the Obama administration’s announcement that it intended to ask Congress to waive a ban on funding UNESCO because of its recognition of Palestinian statehood.
