Leftists hold rallies across West Bank rejecting negotiations

HEBRON (Ma'an) -- Leftist Palestinian parties on Saturday held demonstrations across the West Bank in opposition to negotiations with Israel and US Secretary of State John Kerry's framework proposal that will serve as the basis for future negotiations.

Leftist rallies in Hebron and in Nablus brought hundreds to the street to reject the negotiations proposals from the US leader, which they claimed were intended to "liquidate the question of Palestine and prolong the Israeli occupation."

Kerry is expected to announce a framework proposal to guide ongoing negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority within the coming days.

Some expect the proposal to include demands that Palestinians relinquish control over large areas of the West Bank upon which Israel has built settlements, as well as demands that the Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state.

"Since Israel has invaded the small swath of land you have and built settlements right in the heart of it we feel that they somehow deserve it, and since they don't feel inclined to give back what they have stolen they want you to recognize them as a religious state as well: thereby nullifying any hope that those 700k they forced out into the refugee world ever have a right of return.

So, yes. It appears that there is a lot of ethnic cleansing that has gone on, and you'll never really have a viable state while another state, including security concerns and hostile settlers, dwells within yours we feel this is the best last hope for peace. By peace of course is your complete humiliation.

Peace with humiliation. Whatcha think?"

-US negotiator

I'm adding this >> << because some apparently have trouble with understanding .

I doubt it's a US negotiator it's very poorly written. More likely a hoax . Doesn't look like it was written by someone who's 1st language is English .

Link please.

On edit: You should really focus less on your hostility towards others and more on your support for a state that is practicing apartheid on helpless group of people...IMHO of course.
