Abbas wants no peace without Jerusalem
The Fatah dictator predictably tells in this news clip he won't accept that Jerusalem is Israeli:
Update: and in related news, David Bedein reports at The Bulletin that Fatah is planning on reducing US involvement in their security systems:
Update 2: another announcement from Netanyahu making clear the building in east Jerusalem will continue.
Update: this article from the Sydney Morning Herald tells that many Arab leaders are also ruling out talks with Israel.
There will be no peace agreement without ending the occupation of Palestinian land, first and foremost east Jerusalem, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said Saturday at the Arab League summit in Libya.And of course, he also incites/signals violence against Israeli targets. What a most hateful man Abbas really is. Jerusalem has had a Jewish majority since the mid-19th century, whereas the Muslims have been a minority in the Holy City for a very very long time before that, if they were ever a majority.
Abbas added that conflict in Jerusalem was dangerous and could ignite the entire Middle East. He said the PA would not resume peace talks with Israel, including indirect talks, until Israel stops construction in the settlements.
Update: and in related news, David Bedein reports at The Bulletin that Fatah is planning on reducing US involvement in their security systems:
Jerusalem — The Middle East News Line, known as a reliable and credible source, reports that the Palestinian Authority (PA) has drafted a plan that would end direct U.S. involvement in Palestinian security in the West Bank.Well the US shouldn't have been helping them anyway, and should not have been funding them either. A pure waste of US tax dollars.
The plan calls for Palestinian trainers to replace those brought by the United States as well as the marginalization of the team headed by U.S. security coordinator Lt. Gen. Keith Dayton. Under the plan, Lt. Gen. Dayton would no longer have access to PA security forces or field operations.
[...]
The PA leadership, prodded by the ruling Fatah movement, determined that U.S. intervention was hampering security force development and undermining the legitimacy of the regime of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.
“There is a consensus that the American presence has to be significantly reduced in 2010,” the official said.
Update 2: another announcement from Netanyahu making clear the building in east Jerusalem will continue.
Update: this article from the Sydney Morning Herald tells that many Arab leaders are also ruling out talks with Israel.

Avi, a bumper sticker slogan for the situation:
"I prefer Jerusalem without peace to peace without Jerusalem."

As a first-born (to his Mom, that is!) Barry-boy should be advised by his Jewish acolytes that Passover is a decisive and decidedly dangerous time for those of his kind!
