Israel is not serious about peace

According to David Miliband, Israel's announcement of yet more illegal settlements may give the impression that Israel is not serious about peace. (I paraphrase)

Joe Biden, the vice US president had this to say:

"The decision by the Israeli government to advance planning for new housing units in East Jerusalem undermines that very trust, the trust that we need right now in order to begin ... profitable negotiations."

Mr Biden also stressed the need to end the conflict to restore to the Palestinians "the fundamental dignity and self-respect that their current predicament denies them".

These are mild words but criticism none the less and an acknowledgement of who is the real obstacle to peace.

Peace with who?
Who wants Peace?
Not the "Palestinians"
Who represents the "Palestinians"?
Is it Fatah and Abbas in Judea & Samaria?
Or
Is it Hanniyeh and Hamas in Gaza?
Perhaps you'd like TWO "Palestinian" terrorist States; one to the West of Israel and one to the East of Israel, then they can lob missiles into Israel from both sides; is that your dream?
Sorry to shatter your dream, but there is never going to be another "Palestinian" Arab State; they already have one - it is called Jordan.

Welcome back to Jihad Journal Live!

Now for our top story:

"Jews building houses in Israel's capital are an impediment to peace", say local terrorists and holocaust deniers...

If Israel were serious about peace, it would have got the colonists out years ago. It's about as interested in peace as the Palestinians. That is, not at all.

I've met Arabs who refer to themselves as "Palestinians" yes. I've met plenty of Arabs who are proud to live in Israel too. What's your point?

By the way Israeli Arabs do not have anything like the same rights as their Jewish neighbours and are heavily discriminated against.

I keep hearing people moaning that both America and Britain are criticising Israel over it's housing developments and non committal attitude to peace with the Palestinians (not all are terrorists as some on here would like you to believe).

It is Israel's fault!
If as some say the land belongs wholly to Israel and they are not interested in sharing the sovereignty with Palestinians, or giving them their own part of the land to live in, in order that the two, very different communities, can live their own way. Yet Israel don't come out in an outright way and say this, but give the impression on the world stage that they are on the table for peace negotiations, who's fault is that?
It shows insincerity and a waste of everyone's time by Israel, while others are trying to work on a solution (rather than as Israel thinks, hoping the problem will go away, and that military force is the solution to keeping it contained). It's as if Israel think they can play a game of poker with the situation, and then think the world is going to give them a pat on the back, when Israel is insulting their intelligence.
