| Time for Palestinian State: Rice |
| 2007-10-16 |
| The time has come for establishing a Palestinian state and itÂ’s in the interest of the US to do so, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said yesterday in one of her most forceful statements yet on the issue. Israeli and Palestinian negotiation teams are drafting a joint declaration of principles that may offer solutions to some of the core issues of the final status agreement, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told Rice. Abbas and Rice met in Ramallah to discuss issues ahead of the US-sponsored Mideast peace conference and held a joint press conference following the meeting. The comments from Rice suggested that the Bush administration is determined to try to bridge the wide gaps between Israel and the Palestinians. The gathering is expected to take place next month, though a date hasnÂ’t been announced. Amid such uncertainty, moderate Arab countries, whose participation is widely viewed as critical, have not committed to attending. |

| #8 sure, it's the size of the cistern a Khan Younis, crowd on in , ya bunny-breeding splodey-dopes! The sheer concentration of Paleos along with thin-skinned offences at every turn should prove Darwin correct. |

| #3 Palestinian state = Jordan. Expel the "refugees" from everywhere else and shoot them if they try to cross into Israel. |

| #2 Compare YNETNEWS Op-Ed > CONQUER OR CAPITULATE article. DETERRENCE is slowly losing its effectiveness and becoming unviable for Israel - author believes that in order to stop seemingly incessant rocket attacks + guerilla incursions Israel must de facto stop the ability of ist enemies to do so, ergo means Israel must take back = take over any and all Paleo areas. |

| #1 Pray tell exactly what it is the Palestinians have done to deserve this signal honor? Does no one seem to recall that the Palestinians have acted in bad faith regarding every single promise and resolution they've ever made? Rewarding them for their incessant perfidy is nothing but an invitation for lots more of the same. Israel has made enough concessions to arrive at peace with a dozen different civilized nations. Where is that peace, save at the fence's edge? The Palestinians deserve nothing more than suffering the continued defeat, agony and humiliation that they bring upon themselves in such vast measure. Their adoption and continued employment of terrorism must be regarded as nothing less than a mandate for condemnation by all rational people. Such a self-avowed lust for genocide against Israel must certainly disqualify them from all participation in the global community. They must be held up to this world as an object lesson of the fate awaiting those who dissemble, lie, cheat and steal at every single last twist and turn. They have never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity and neither should they miss the chance at attaining a wholly undeserved and unearned statehood. Pandering to their insufferable Arab sense of entitlement is worse than a fatal error. It is a blunder of monumental and everlasting proportions. Only a complete and total idiot could possibly think otherwise. |
