Is this any way to make peace?

The 'Palestinians' claim that they want 'peace.' But not only do they continue to incite terrorism and violence against their Jewish neighbors, they also condemn anyone among their own who seems to espouse a different view.

On Tuesday, 'moderate' 'Palestinian' President Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen 's Fatah terror organization condemned a meeting between prominent 'Palestinians' from the PLO and Israelis because it 'promoted normalization.'

The Israeli delegation to the meeting – which was organized by the Geneva Initiative group – included members of the Likud and Shas, rabbis, political consultants and municipal council members.

During their visit to Ramallah, the Israelis met with PLO Secretary-General Yasser Abed Rabbo, top Fatah official Nabil Sha’ath, PLO Executive Committee member Mohamed Masri, and Ashraf al-Ajrami, a former minister for prisoner affairs in the Palestinian Authority.

Abed Rabbo is also the head of the Palestinian branch of the Geneva Initiative.

Referring to the most recent meeting in Ramallah, Fatah said: “We condemn normalization and those behind it. Such meetings are void of political content and a waste of time. They are unjustified, nationally and politically.”

The faction said in a leaflet that such meetings were in violation of PA President Mahmoud Abbas’s position to halt meetings with the Israeli government.

According to Fatah, the Ramallah meeting “ignored the feelings of our people and the living memory among our people – that these Zionists are the staunchest enemies of our rights.”

The Fatah statement concluded, “While we strongly condemn such meetings and categorically reject them, we call upon our leadership to form a commission of inquiry to hold accountable those responsible.”

 And John Kerry thinks peace is at hand?
