'Not even one concession'
And of course no one will blame him because everyone knows that he is 'too weak' to make any concessions even if he wanted to make them.On Monday, 'moderate' 'Palestinian' President
“The talks will be for this month only,” Abbas was quoted by the PA’s Al-Ayyam newspaper as saying. “If the Israeli government extends the freeze, we will continue with the talks. But if they don’t extend, we will withdraw from the negotiations.”What happened to all those nice words at the end of the Washington meetings? Maybe the next time they should lock Abu Bluff in a room until the next meeting when a meeting ends. Hmmm.
Abbas said that he made his position clear to US President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Netanyahu during last week’s launch of the direct talks in Washington.
Abbas stressed that he would not make any concessions to Israel.
“If they demand concessions on the rights of the refugees or the 1967 borders, I will quit. I can’t allow myself to make even one concession,” he said.
Netanyahu responded indirectly, telling a visiting threeperson US Democratic congressional delegation he hopes Abbas “will not choose to abandon the road to peace.”
Netanyahu told the delegation, made up of Rush Holt (D-New Jersey), Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-Florida) and Steven Israel (D-New York), that there were “many issues that we did not agree upon during our discussions, and the only way to reach agreement on them is though direct, continuous talks, without breaks and without delays.”
P.S. to ECI: What's Rush Holt doing here?

Any normal person would get up and take the next plane back.
Stupid Jews.
Good. If Bibi played this the way I outlined, he needs to merely express his regrets that the 'palis' have yet again wasted an opportunity.
Then, shortly after this, he needs to make a simple and direct comment, that as a result of this, Israel has no intention of negotiating with a group that has no intention of negotiating with it. Since they will not show any flexibility in their stance, all future negotiations are now off, the 'peace process' is officially over, and Israel withdraws its recognition of PA/PLO as the 'legitimate representative of the "palis" people'. From now on, all discussions about the 'palis' will be done exclusively with the Jordanians, aka the real 'palis', and the Egyptians. Further, since this recognition has been withdrawn, the Oslo process is over, terminated in failure. Further still, since no negotiation is possible with the failed political entity of the PA/PLO, Israel requests an immediate and rapid change of the UN stance to have the UN refugee commissioner take over all responsibilities for the 'palis' people, as the UNRWA has only managed to continue and extend a crisis for 6 decades.
That is, if you play this right, this is checkmate. Abbas has utterly and completely failed. Its time to make him pay for it.
And its decades past time to resettle the arabs with their brethren. It is the ultimate in hypocritical discourse to accuse Israel of crimes against humanity when 'palis' have been isolated in their camps by their own relatives for decades. Its time to call everyone to the mat on this.
Screw good relations with the world. Its time to fix the problems. No one else seems to want to do this, so, again, its up to Israel to do and demand others do, the dirty work.
To give the 'palis' a future, you have to get rid of the corrupt kleptothugocracy that exists now.
Abbas will stop negotiating if he doesn't get everything he wants while giving nothing? Can someone please define the word "negotiation?"
There will be no direct talks and no peace. The maximum Israel could concede to the Palestinians is less than the minimum their leader would need to survive in office.
The two sides are so far apart there will be no peace in our lifetime.
