Abbas speech at the UN. I cant say there is a word of it that does not seem completely reasonable to me and Israels calling this reasoned position slanderous, incitement and dilemmatic terrorism is -- well choose insane or terribly disappointing…Who is the extremist? Abbas said: “It is impossible, and I repeat – it is impossible – to return to the whirlwind cycle of negotiations that failed to deal with the substance of the matter and the fundamental question. “There is neither credibility nor seriousness in negotiations in which Israel predetermines the results via its settlement activities and the occupation’s brutality. “ There is no meaning or value in negotiations for which the agreed objective is not ending the Israeli occupation and achieving the independence of the state of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital on the entire Palestinian territory occupied in the 1967 war. “And, there is no value in negotiations which are not linked to a firm timetable for the implementation of this goal.” Instead, he accused Israel of planning “ghettos for Palestinians on fragmented land, without borders and without sovereignty over its airspace, water and natural resources, which will be under the subjugation of the racist settlers and army of occupation, and at worst will be a most abhorrent form of apartheid”.
