As Abbas returns from US, critics say talks doomed to fail

"President Obama's meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas at the White House, which comes on the heels of a visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, may give the impression that the US is an even-handed mediator in this never-ending Middle East peace process," Bahour said.

"Such a reading would be a strategic misunderstanding. There is not an iota of symmetry between a military occupying power and a supposedly protected occupied people. When the US stops putting Israel's interests before its own and starts holding it accountable in proportion to the severity of its violations of international law, then maybe peace will have a chance."

Peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians were relaunched in July under the auspices of the US after nearly three years of impasse.

Israel's government has announced the construction of thousands of settler housing units since the talks began, and its army has killed 60 Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza since talks began.

1. Another Maan article. Here's what currently exists on their website:

2. Yes, Shira. Please respond to the OP, and try not to attempt to hijack the thread.

3. An example from the article of Maan incitement:

its army has killed 60 Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza since talks began.

How many were militants as opposed to civilians?

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

4. How many were civilians, or do you consider all Palestinians to be terrorists?

You seem to be hung up on a statement of fact.

If the number turns out to be 50 Palestinians killed I'm sure you will feel vindicated.

[shira]

5. I pointed to ridiculous bias & incitement from a nasty, racist news source...

I also asked a question and, as predicted, you deflected.

It's quite obvious you like Maan b/c you love how they incite animosity towards Israel.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

6. An article stating a fact is not deflecting or inciting.

Poor you.

[shira]

7. It's a lie by omission from a very racist news source. So yeah, it's incitement. n/t

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

9. That's conjecture; seeing how neither you nor I have the figures

on who the 60 dead Palestinians are. But conjecture away.

[shira]

11. Yes, no one knows how many out of those 60 were terrorists.

Any news (especially from a despicable racist source like Maan) that bashes the dreaded Zionists is legit, right?

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

12. I would suggest that you refrain from

hyperventilating over your latest attempt at victimization.

You're not going to hijack my thread, dear.

[azurnoir]

14. shira we've been over this ad nauseum an Israeli court threw out your incitement claims

but yet here you a couple of days later with the very same woolen eye covering

[azurnoir]

13. Why didn't you include Maans disclaimer? Which states plainly LttE's do not express Maans views?

it's in Arabic why the attempt to mislead here? Are you depending on people not clicking the link?

8. Good question:

"Did he regret securing Palestine's upgraded status as a non-member observer state of the United Nations but then freezing its moves to join other UN organizations or the International Criminal Court in favor of yet more US-mediated negotiations that only result in increased pressure for Palestinian concessions?"

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

10. He's a horrible leader. The Palestinians deserve better.
