Thread: Israeli foreign minister: peace is 'impossible'

Maybe the best procedure is for the US to stay out of the conflict if "peace is impossible" (not that we've been accomplishing anything anyhow).

Israeli foreign minister: peace is 'impossible'

1 hr 23 mins ago
JERUSALEM – Israel's foreign minister said Sunday a peace deal with the Palestinians is impossible under current conditions and that Israel should pursue a lesser deal instead — a concept the Palestinians swiftly rejected.
The latest diplomatic spat between the two sides came as violence along the Israel-Gaza border simmered. After days of accelerated Palestinian rocket attacks on southern Israel and Israeli airstrikes in response, Israeli soldiers killed two Palestinians on the border early Sunday.


Avigdor Lieberman, the Israeli foreign minister, told a conference of Israeli diplomats that instead of a full peace deal, Israel should seek a long-term, interim agreement on security and economic matters. Palestinians have consistently rejected that approach.


"It's not only that it is impossible" to reach an overall agreement, he said. "It is simply forbidden."


Lieberman said the West Bank Palestinian Authority — with whom Israel has pledged to negotiate — is "not legitimate" because it has postponed elections. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas remains in office though his term expired almost a year ago, and there is no date for a new election.

Articles like this are good for sending to any liberal or moderate acquaintances. Let them see what our "great ally" Isra-hell is really all about.
