Yup.
As a reader I get sick of reading the same old s***.

"US support may give talks boost, Egypt says; Cites assurances from Washington" by Associated Press | July 29, 2010

CAIRO — Egypt said yesterday that it has received US assurances that may help in restarting direct peace talks between the Palestinians and Israel.

Suleiman Awwad, Egyptian presidential spokesman, did not disclose details of the US assurances, which were made on the eve of a crucial Arab League meeting to determine the future of the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.

Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian president, is under intense international pressure to restart direct peace talks with Israel frozen in 2008.

Yeah, by USrael!

Arab foreign ministers will meet today to consider the matter of direct talks, potentially adding more pressure on the Palestinian president.

Abbas has insisted he will upgrade the current US-mediated indirect talks with Israel only if it agrees to halt settlement construction and accept a Palestinian state in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem.

Not happening, so we will see if Abass bends to USraeli will and shreds what little cred he had left with Palestinians.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel has refused to be pinned down on a framework for negotiations.

Well, sort of:

"all of the homes being built are in large settlement blocs that Israel expects to retain under any future peace deal"

"Netanyahu’s coalition.... opposes any division of Jerusalem."

Aren't those PRECONDITIONS?

This week the Associated Press obtained a Palestinian document that revealed that Mitchell warned Abbas that if he does not agree to direct talks, President Obama will not be able to help the Palestinians achieve a state of their own....

Yeah, the PALESTINIAN gets the WARNING!

Awwad said President Hosni Mubarak has received a letter from Obama, followed by calls from Vice President Joe Biden and US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, all signaling a US commitment to establish a Palestinian state....

Netanyahu, in a speech Tuesday in Jerusalem, Netanyahu said a Palestinian state must be demilitarized and recognize Israel as a Jewish state.

So WHEN is ISRAEL going to DEMILITARIZE, huh?

That is the whole point of all this BS!

He also demanded undefined security arrangements....

But HIS DEMANDS and UNDEFINED PRECONDITIONS illicit NO WARNING from the U.S.

--more--"

What, you say something, Globe?

Israel must be preparing another false flag operation because that's when these stories begin to appear.

It's always the poor Jews and never their victims in my AmeriKan jewspaper. Thus my waning enthusiasm for reading them and the ever-expanding collection (again) of unread papers and articles.
