What the State Department didn't retweet
I don't follow State Department spokesman PJ Crowley on Twitter. I'm not a big fan of his, and the State Department (which I do follow) usually retweets anything significant that he tweets anyway. Well, the State Department didn't retweet this.American State Department Spokesman Philip Crowley said via Twitter on Saturday that the United States is doing all it can to assure the continuation of negotiations between Israel and the American-backed Palestinians Authority. "Doing all it can" is generally understood by political analysts to infer increased pressure on Israel to make concessions.What could go wrong?

There is never pressure placed on Palestinians to make concessions.
That is another reason the peace talks will end in failure.
The world expects Israel to give. Israel wants to receive. The Phillip Crowleys of the world should understand the model of the last 17 years hasn't and will never produce peace.
Even if Israel gave the Palestinians 100% of their demands, which it won't. Absent a Palestinians willingness to compromise, peace won't happen.
Why is that so hard for the State Department and the rest of the world to grasp?
