The present talks that are taking place in the Middle East between Israel and the Palestinian leadership will not produce the desired peace. Time after time the Palestinians and the Muslim world demand that Israel make concessions to the detriment of Israel's security. Gaza was one example that has led to untold insecurity and death to Israel. The on going talks is nothing more but theatre to prop up the president of the United States in the Middle East and in the European community. President Obama has failed domestically and his foreign policy is a threat to our national security. The Palestinians have made it clear that they will not recognize the state of Israel nor will they give up their idea of claiming Jerusalem as their capitol.
This issue of settlements is another issue and why should that be an issue when prior to 1967 it was not an issue, neither was Gaza or building in Jerusalem? It has become an issue because the Palestinians want all of Israel from the Jordan River to the sea. A Palestinian state that is disconnected with the rest of the disputed land is no state. What will happen as a result of these talks? If president Abbas does not get his way, there will be an increase in violence like before in previous talks. Perhaps the best thing that Netanyahu can offer is potential economic prosperity. No two states living side by side, but rather a chance for Palestinians to experience the same prosperity that Israel has. If this is presented there could very well be a breakthrough for peace.
