Fool me once: shame on you! Fool me twice- shame on me

How Palestinians negotiate?
Lets assume is a cake!

Step1:
Before starting negotiations you have to give me a present

Step2:
The present is insignificant. Give me something more significant.

Step3:
OK. We are negotiating:
Half of the cake is mine.
Let's negotiate about the other half.

Step 4:
Palestinian are telling to Arab world that the cake negotiation is a game played with infidels>
Palestinians renew indiscriminate violence

Step 5:
After been tired of the current violence stage they say :

Sep 6:
They demand to start the negations from what has been left of the cake from of the previous negations>

The farce peace negotiation cycle restart from Step 1.

Where, in this article is reference to the Israeli position that such activities need to be preceeded by a statement from all relevant governments, warring parties armed militias, etc
that Israel has *the right to exist and exist in peace*?

This* is the REAL precursor to negotiations, not a temporary halting of house-building.

YOU Tell me:
Would YOU seat to the table to negotiate YOUR future with a person that openly declares that YOU must be eliminated?
Would you seat to the table with a person motivated by a religion that tells him to do ANYTHING to achieve his goals, sign any documents they present, as he is totally free from any of his obligations to the infidels. (Quran instructions). If YOU do, than YOU are out of your mind, or just plain stupid.

Rarely do I agree with people, but there is much in wangito's posting to recommend it.

But his key question “Would you sit down with . . . ” - well, yes, Israel is by no means alone in having to sit down and sup with the devil.

After a war with an outcome resolved on the battlefield, the winner runs the war-trials.

In negotiated settlements (such as this might be, eventually)
you very often have to sit opposite people you would rather see dead.
