Actually, the U.S. shouldn't even pretend to be committed to finding a solution until they stop supporting Israel's occupation and apartheid policies and practices with military and economic support.Rebeccahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05852878143339973376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3820224745585596178.post-49818755055569540142010-03-11T10:45:48.220+02:002010-03-11T10:45:48.220+02:00thats why Mr. Yaser Abed Rabbo announced yesterday...thats why Mr. Yaser Abed Rabbo announced yesterday that if the peace talks doesn't work out between the 2 sides there is no one to blame but the US for forcing the Palestinian to go into peace talks, while israel didn't freeze the building of settlements... and he holds the US responsible for any failure in the peace process ....Tareknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3820224745585596178.post-92215828098675911732010-03-11T10:39:33.692+02:002010-03-11T10:39:33.692+02:00The above was in response to Tarek.

But it's like when you ha...This is very likely. But it's like when you have kids: if you threaten them with something ("If you don't stop hitting your little brother, you will not get any dessert after dinner!") and then don't follow through, you teach them that they can do whatever they want without any consequences. Abbas needs to be firm and show Israel that when he says that he will not return to peace talks until Israel shows real commitment and halts all settlement expansions, he means it. If he gives in to appease the U.S. or the EU or whatever and returns to peace talks, then he's essentially giving Israel a green light to do whatever they want without any repercussions. He is teaching them that Palestine will always bend to their rules. <br /><br />Anyway, I think at this stage, the whole weight shouldn't be on Palestine to resume peace talks anyway, seeing as how Israel keeps bullying them into accepting their unacceptable behavior. It is time for the international community to step in and make it clear for Israel that it cannot continue like this. Not by publicly condemning Israel's actions, but by military, economic and diplomatic sanctions.Rebeccahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05852878143339973376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3820224745585596178.post-17725509869258563322010-03-11T10:26:41.827+02:002010-03-11T10:26:41.827+02:00..and I quote "ARE U SERIouESSSSSSSSSSS?!?!?!.....and I quote "ARE U SERIouESSSSSSSSSSS?!?!?!" Mr Ban ki Mon and Biden condemned the talking of the new settlements, altho Biden is saying the Israel will always have Americas help and support, he delayed dinners and will not continue the peace conference because of these "news" from Israel. So its a good start.. now PLEASE Ki MOn, Biden, Obama, Reinfeldt, Hallonen and all the other world leaders.. PUT A STOP TO ALL THIS BULL CRAP!!!! We wont stand for this.. and we wont sit for it either...
