The never-ending “peace process”

Amira Hass, Israeli journalist with Haaretz, talks to Salon:

“You can’t talk about 60 years of Israel without talking about the naqba, the Palestinian disaster. Neither Israel nor the Palestinian elite, with their vested interests in maintaining the status quo, are interested in peace. One of the Palestinian negotiators has a son whose company supplies materials for building the border wall. The wall is making him rich. Both [Mahmoud] Abbas and [Ismail] Haniyeh, the political leader of Hamas, are playing Israel’s game. The only purpose of the negotiations is to lead to more negotiations. What it’s all about is a people refusing to give up its privileges.”

    Hmm, had the arabs thrown the Jews into the Sea, what would 60s later this idiot say? Dumbass you can’t have your cake and eat it too! The arabs exercised their bragging rights before the conflict and now they’re complaining about the mean bad Jews and what the terrible Israelis did to the poor helpless arabs … it just breaks my heart … I might just shed a single tear.
