TOP 4.25 ISRAELI AND PALESTINIAN MYTHS (PEACE TALKS VERSION)
Your myth may be my truth (and vice versa), but then that’s the essence of the Israeli and Palestinian saga, so let’s plunge into the certitude abyss. Today’s [singlepic id=557 w=320 h=240 float=right]top 4.25 myths (and maybe your 4.25 truths) include my personal top three and 1.25 others courtesy of various emailers.
Some emailers (and one old-fashioned pen on paper geezer) have been kind enough to maintain issue consistency in their disagreement(s) with my previous articles; however, the ones who have been more pedantic have tended to be more entertaining and descriptive in trying to teach me the past, present and future. However, please allow me to suggest that if “self-hating” is the best you can do to describe your disagreement, you need to ”google” Mort Klein or go to his ZOA site so you can borrow his more reliably histrionic material.

The Present and the Future of the Israeli Palestinian Conflict
So where are the Palestinians and Israelis going to? Do they still have a chance to achieve something through negotiations or the current indicators show that[singlepic id=435 w=320 h=240 float=right] there is no way that peace can be achieved? What is it that both peoples want and what is the effect that both leaderships are leaving on their peoples? Is the two states solution valid or it stopped to be vital choice?
Many questions that can be easily answered but many prefer not to because of the difficult answers that would be found out. The International community is almost convinced that the peace talks failed and that it is impossible that both sides would reach a solution in the next year. The American administration
Peace talks? Hope or is it the End?
The peace process seems to be reaching its last moments between the Israelis and the Palestinians. [singlepic id=420 w=320 h=240 float=right] All the attempts, which were made to make a kind of an improvement between the two sides, brought no outcome at all. The American administration that was sure a couple of years ago that peace can be achieved in a short period realized that the situation is more difficult in reality.
The Israeli current government continues to gain time by turning the situation from a negotiations process in order to reach a solution into talks about whether to freeze the unlawful settlements building in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. On the ground, the Israeli government continues to work and
