"West Bank shows hints of a Palestinian state; Security forces, economic growth are improving" by Ethan Bronner, New York Times | August 31, 2010
RAMALLAH, West Bank — As preparations intensify for a Palestinian-Israeli summit meeting in Washington on Thursday, the crude outlines of a Palestinian state are emerging in the West Bank, with increasingly reliable security forces, a more disciplined government, and a growing sense among ordinary citizens that they can count on basic services.
As opposed to Gaza, of course.
Personal checks, long shunned as being unredeemable, are now widely accepted. Traffic tickets are issued and paid, movie theaters are opening, and public parks are packed with families late into the summer nights....
Of course, the West Bank remains occupied by Israel. It is filled with scores of Israeli settlements, 10,000 Israeli troops, and numerous roadblocks and checkpoints that render ordinary life impossible for the area’s 2.5 million Palestinians....
Then why is the NYT boot-shining this turd?
A main challenge facing the Palestinian Authority is Hamas, which rejects Israel’s existence and controls Gaza, where 1.5 million Palestinians live. Hamas and Abbas’s more secular Fatah Party are rivals, and the prospect of reconciliation between them seems low. Hamas followers in the West Bank could play the part of spoilers, although the Palestinian and Israeli security forces work to keep them on the defensive.
I'm tired of the lies especially after Hamas said they would accept the decision of Palestinians in a vote.
And WHAT a COINCIDENCE the VERY NEXT DAY, huh?
Almost as if the AGENDA-PUSHING Zionist piece of propaganda KNEW that SOMETHING would happen, huh?
"Palestinian kills 4 Israelis on eve of peace talks" by Mark Lavie, Associated Press Writer | August 31, 2010
JERUSALEM --Palestinian gunmen opened fire Tuesday on an Israeli car in the West Bank and killed four passengers on the eve of a new round of Mideast peace talks in Washington. The Islamic militant group Hamas claimed responsibility.
"This is a classic case of propaganda for Israel at work.... An actual statement issued by HAMAS and reported by Reuters praises the killings, but denies all responsibility. -- Wake the Flock Up
And then the U.S. MSM ran with it.
Assailants firing from a passing car riddled the vehicle with bullets as it traveled near Hebron -- a volatile city that has been a flash point of violence in the past. Some 500 ultranationalist Jewish settlers live in heavily fortified enclaves in the city amid more than 100,000 Palestinians.
Never Zionist MILITANTS, notice that?
One of the victims was pregnant, said police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld. Israel's national rescue service said the victims were two men and two women, and Israeli media said everyone in the car was killed.
Video broadcast live on Israel TV late Tuesday showed a white Subaru station wagon standing at an angle at the side of a road, its windows shot out and its doors dotted with bullet holes. The car was flanked by army and police vehicles and dozens of soldiers.
The attackers fled and Israeli forces set up roadblocks and carried out searches to try to catch them.
Yeah, and somehow they NEVER DID, huh?
About 3,000 people joined a rally in Gaza to celebrate the attack. Hamas military wing spokesman Abu Obeida was among them and told The Associated Press: "The Qassam Brigades announces its full responsibility for the heroic operation in Hebron."
Upon arriving in Washington for this week's talks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the attack....
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was already in Washington meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton when the attack took place.
Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad's office issued a statement charging the attack was aimed at undermining his government's effort to build international support for "the Palestinian position and ending the (Israeli) occupation."
And CUI BONO when the WORLD is on PALESTINE'S SIDE NOW?
Hamas, a fierce rival of the Western-backed Palestinian president, expelled Abbas' forces from Gaza in 2007 and took over the territory.

Yup, the AmeriKan MSM KNOWS THEY WON but keeps repeating the same garbage!
Btw, Hamas foiled a COUP ATTEMPT!!!!
Therefore, they are NOT TO BE BELIEVED on any matter -- especially ALL THINGS ISRAEL!!!!
Abbas has been trying to limit the Islamic militants' reach in the West Bank, jailing activists and even cracking down on mosque preachers.
Huh. That paragraph was taken out of my printed paper.
Hamas, responsible for dozens of suicide bombings in Israel, is considered a terrorist group by the U.S., Israel and European Union....
That one wasn't.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak promised a tough response to an attack he said was aimed at sabotaging the talks.
And CUI BONO?
"Israel will not allow terrorists to raise their heads and will exact a price from the murderers and those who send them," he said in a statement....
There is widespread opposition to the resumption of the peace talks among Palestinians. Hamas opposes any contact with Israel and has harshly criticized Abbas for agreeing to resume the negotiations.
I'm just tired of the Zionist distortions posing as news, sorry.
Opposition to resuming talks is also coming from within the Palestine Liberation Organization, an umbrella group headed by Abbas. Some Fatah activists threaten to try to depose him if he makes concessions, and several hard-line PLO groups plan a demonstration in the West Bank administrative capital of Ramallah on Wednesday to protest resumption of negotiations.
In other words MOST PALESTINIANS are AGAINST talking to a WAR-CRIMINAL STATE MURDERER!

Yeah, that is why the tool Abass did it.
Netanyahu also faces some domestic opposition from elements of his hard-line coalition of religious and nationalist parties. He has said that protecting Israel's security interests will be his top priority in the talks.
It is SUCH a WASTE of TIME to talk to them.
Heading into a meeting with Clinton, Netanyahu said in the statement he would tell her, "This criminal murder proves again the need to stand firmly on Israel's stringent security demands, and there will be no compromise on them."
Yeah, and it is REALLY STARTING to STINK like a ANOTHER ISRAELI FALSE FLAG!
The attack disrupted a relative lull in the West Bank. The last fatal attack occurred in June, when Palestinians opened fire on a police vehicle near Hebron and killed one officer.
Yeah, JUST AFTER the NYT was SINGING the West Bank's praises, cui bono!
A previous U.S. launching of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks was also accompanied by deadly violence. Palestinian gunmen shot and killed an Israeli in the West Bank before then-President George W. Bush convened Israeli and Palestinian leaders for a summit in Annapolis, Maryland, in November 2007....
Huh.

".... The most lethal attack in four years—blamed on Hamas—occurred just hours before Netanyahu’s scheduled meeting with Hamas leaders and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The timing revived memories of the many well-timed “incidents” during the reign of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. No one dares suggest that Tel Aviv may be the source of this latest incident. Yet consider just a few of the many precedents:
- On April 12, 2002, at the same moment Secretary of State Colin Powell was meeting with Ariel Sharon, a suicide bombing occurred in Israel, killing 8 and injuring 22.
- On May 10, 2002, at the same moment President Bush was meeting with Ariel Sharon, a suicide bombing occurred in Israel.
- On June 11, 2003, on the same day Ariel Sharon visited the White House, a suicide bombing killed 17 and wounded 100 on a bus in Jerusalem.
- On November 11, 2003, while the president of Italy was visiting the U.S., Italy suffered its greatest wartime casualties since WWII when 19 Italians were killed in Iraq.
- On November 20, 2003, while President Bush was visiting Prime Minister Tony Blair in London, the British envoy to Istanbul was among 27 killed by a blast.
- On November 30, 2003, while the president of Spain was visiting the U.S., seven Spanish intelligence officers were killed in Iraq.
Wow, what COINCIDENCES!
"4 Israelis killed in West Bank attack as talks near; Settlers shot; Hamas claims responsibility" by Isabel Kershner and Mark Landler, New York Times | September 1, 2010
"Isabel Kershner.... is an Israeli citizen.... possible family ties to the Israeli military"
Oh, one of the tough guys of the AmeriKan MSM.
JERUSALEM — The victims came from Beit Hagai, a small settlement in the hills south of Hebron, an area known for particularly militant settlers. Israeli forces were combing the area looking for suspects....
Yeah, NEVER FOUND 'EM, huh?
Hmmmmmmmmmm!!
The assertion of responsibility was unusual in that Hamas had refrained from taking responsibility for attacks in recent years.
That is because they WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE!
But with a sharp decline in rocket fire from Gaza against southern Israel, some in Gaza have been questioning Hamas’s commitment to fighting Israel.
What, like THEY ALSO WANT PEACE?

"Hamas leader denounces peace talks, vows more violence" by Diaa Hadid and Karin Laub, Associated Press | September 2, 2010
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The top Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip rejected compromise with Israel in a fiery speech yesterday, a day after gunmen killed four Israelis in a strong reminder that the militant group cannot be ignored in any Mideast deal....
Hamas has claimed responsibility for Tuesday’s shootings, a vivid reminder that the Iranian-backed group may be locked out of the peace negotiations but remains a key player in determining their outcome.
Did they really, lying MSM?
Late yesterday, gunmen wounded two Israelis in a drive-by shooting in the northern West Bank, the military said. Assailants in a car overtook an Israeli vehicle and opened fire. While there was no immediate claim of responsibility, the method resembled that of Tuesday’s shooting.
If at first you don't succeed, false flag again!
Last night, Hamas’s leader in Gaza, Mahmoud Zahar, indicated that more attacks could be expected.
“Our resistance is continuous,’’ Zahar said. “We have to concentrate on the West Bank in order to achieve [its] liberation.’’
Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority, has been locked in a fierce rivalry with Hamas since the group seized Gaza from his forces in 2007.
AS NOTED ABOVE the MSM CONTINUES to LIE about this and therefore FORFEITS all CREDIBILITY!
In the past year, some Hamas leaders have hinted that the group would accept a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem.
Yes, if the PEACE NEGOTIATIONS are APPROVED by PALESTINIANS in a VOTE!
Why the VAGUE OBFUSCATION, MSM?
But the West has rejected Hamas feelers, insisting it first renounce violence and recognize Israel’s right to exist.
Okay, so WHEN is ISRAEL going to FORSWEAR VIOLENCE and RECOGNIZE PALESTINE?
Hello?
The main Mideast mediators — the United States, the United Nations, Europe, and Russia — have not spelled out how Gaza fits into peace plans. Abbas could implement a deal only if he either reaches a power-sharing deal with Hamas, or if Hamas decides to moderate. Both seem unlikely.
How about that WAR-CRIMINAL STATE "moderating" its BLOODTHIRSTY and BARBARIC BEHAVIOR!?

And if the West Bank shooting won't make you hate Palestinians then maybe this will:
NEW YORK — One of the investors in a proposed Islamic center near ground zero is a Long Island medical clinic owner whose expressions of sympathy for Palestinians included a donation to a charity later shut down for links to Hamas....
And we can't have any of that here in AmeriKa!
NEW YORK — It is “unethical, insensitive, and inhumane’’ to oppose the planned mosque near ground zero, more than 50 leading Muslim organizations said yesterday as they cast the intense debate as a symptom of religious intolerance in America.
We can't seem to help it with the decades of Zionist brainwashing and the Muslim-hating newspapers cheering them on.
The imam behind the project, meanwhile, was preparing to return to the United States after a taxpayer-funded goodwill tour to the Mideast, where he said the debate is about much more than “a piece of real estate’’ where Islamic terrorists flew two planes into the World Trade Center....
I'm SO TIRED of the LIE!
