Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas Threatens to Resign Over Israeli Settlements

Abbas threatens to resign over peace talks impasse
Monday, 26 Oct 2009 00:49:08 GMT

Acting Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas has threatened to resign because he expects no concrete outcome in the peace process with hawkish Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

During a telephone conversation last week, Abbas told US President Barack Obama that he sees no chance of "capitulation" by the Tel Aviv administration to halt the illegal settlement constructions in the West Bank, Israel's Channel 10 television reported on Monday.

Obama set Middle East peace as a top priority at the start of his presidency in January, in contrast to his predecessor George W. Bush, who was criticized internationally for neglecting the long-running conflict. But so far, the new administration has little to show for its efforts.

Netanyahu, whose right-leaning coalition includes pro-settler parties, has resisted Obama's calls for a total freeze on settlements in the occupied West Bank........

Israel doesn't control the US, the US has backed Israel since the beginning unreservedly.

They see Israel as 'pioneering' and 'democratic'

If it wasn't for American support, realpolitik, practical Israelis would have done whats neccessary for peace decades ago

[AfriSynergy]

Actually, it was Russia that first supported the establishment of Israel from the beginning, not the US. The US didn't heartily jump onboard until the 1960s.

You are correct that US support of the Israeli government has kept this nonsense going. Also realize that if the US wasn't there it would be France or another country these tricksters would be taking for a ride.

If its true that there is a diminishment of US support it will be interesting as I can't see any takers for the 'arm and defend Israel role'

The Soviets liked the Socialism of the early Zionists, but that didn't last long.

Israel won't find any Ideological allies due its 'exclusionist' nature and all the coming powers i.e. China, Russia, Brazil and India have ambivalent to hostile relations with the Jewish state. European guilt won't last forever

Very vulnerable indeed

[AfriSynergy]

This is why the Zionists' goal is to cause and instigate chaos throughout the world, hoping that they will have the best assets to come through those chaos on top. A terrible spouse eventually runs out of time.

Does any of this come as a surprise to anyone? NO.

1) Israel is a rogue nation

2) Israel is not obligated to comply with U.N. resloutions.

3) The U.S. is nothing more than a shoe shiner for IsraLIE.

4) The IsraLIE way of "reasoning" is by way of deception, manipulation, intimidation.

5) Systematicaly annex as much land as possible, inch by inch soon turns to mile by mile.

6) The whole world stands by as Israel dances between the rain drops and does anything it wants.

The days of the Zionists ruling the affairs of the US are quickly coming to an end.

They shall not escape the Goldstone report so easily. Also, the general body of the UN do not stand with them. Only the US, France, and UK primarily stand with this rogue state. Why? Because they hold huge sway over these countries' stock markets and banks, and they have dirt on political and business leaders.

[AfriSynergy]

True, it has long hijacked the US Senate. They called Bush Sr. a "Nazi" when he refused to provide them with $10 million because they would not end the illegal settlements built with US dollars. They then put Rush Limbaugh on Bush to assure that he was not re-elected. Obama is their current target.

[iowabrawler]

Israel doesnt need a seat at the U.N. it has something greater. It has hijacked the U.S. Government.
