I hate to agree with Robert on anything but I, too, think these talks are useless.  I think the BEST that can be achieved is that Netanyahu will be SO intransigent, and will be SO castigated by the Likud for ANY concessions that the majority of Israelis will have had enough and decisively vote the right-wingers out of office.

And that’s the best we can hope for.  If THAT is achieved then, perhaps, real talks can happen. But as long as Benny and his bouncer, Avigdor Lieberman remain in power, and the ultra-rightists continue to build their Jewish Taliban, nothing will come of this other than time wasted.

I hope Obama and Clinton know something I don’t know, but I suspect they don’t, that their ENTIRE emphasis has been to get Abbas and Netanyahu to sit down together.  If that’s true, it’s doomed.

Yahoo has to do something to be given those new jet fighter in 2013.  Sort of a big carrot.

Aside from ramping up the rhetoric and killing a bunch of civilians, Israel and the middle east has been quite peaceful recently.

Buying Time For ISRAEL to get ready, Hizbolla gets ready, Hamas gets ready, Syria gets ready, Iran already ready, Ha Ha What an expensive waste of Time. New Air fighters for Xmas! fOR ISRAEL!

Fake Al Qaeda Actors EXPOSED! Adam Gadahn & Yousef al-Khattab

Its “BY WAY OF DECEPTION THOU SHALL DO WAR” ! that is their motto!

ISRAEL/ZIONISM/MOSSAD have been working at many deceptions for decades…Barak Obama knows the rules…he is too timid to mess with the likes of Netanyahu!

Nothing will happen from these meetings. Israel will continue to steal more Palestinian land and build new settlements on a non-stop basis, 24 hours a day. Those bulldozers, cranes, trucks…etc…are at it non-stop. And guess who is funding all of it…yep its that ole broke American taxpayer!

“Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are.”

And so the murderous lie that is the “peace process” continues.

Obama and Clinton are going to do it!  Israel and the West Bank will agree on the final border essentially the Green Line.  The Jews living in West Bank settlements will be given the option of remaining and becoming citizens of Palestine and thus become Palestinian Jews.  Those Arabs displaced in 1948 and their descendants will be given the option to return or receive payment in kind.  The payment in kind will be sufficient enough to make it hard to refuse. The new state of Palestine will sigh a non-military agreement, but with the understanding that the building of a military will eventually take place.  Gaza will be left as is hoping that the PLO will eventually displace Hamas or establish an unity government in the very near future.  By the time the new Palestinian nation builds a sufficient military force, Iran should have a sufficient number of nuclear weapons to establish parity, then we’ll see a real good land war in around five years.

hello. appears fabricated for special interest. so many
absent people belong at the table- Turkey, Egypt, Iran,
Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iraq- they all have honorable
input. politicians are quick to make game of other dead
people. superficial public production to keep the money
flowing; expect nothing more.

This isn’t even worth being called “Smoke and Mirrors”.  Netanyahu making a just peace with the Palestinians?  I’m choking from laughing so hard.  There are many other more suitably accurate terms for this BS but truthdig is a “family site”.
