PALESTINIANS: NO TALKS WITHOUT ISRAELI SURRENDER

 

The Palestinians are demanding Israel withdraw from the West Bank town of Bethlehem and release senior prisoners, as a precondition for the planned summit between Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, a senior Palestinian source told Ynet Sunday.  The source said that the Palestinian leadership is determined to attain certain conditions prior to the summit "to justify the existence of the summit to the Palestinians."

 

The source added that the PA is demanding Israel determine clear criteria to decide the number of prisoners set to be released, their identities and a specific schedule. Once again the Palestinians are demanding Israel release among others, prisoners who were detained prior to the Oslo accords.

 

"Also on the ground, the Palestinians are demanding an Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank towns - their demand is the withdrawal from Bethlehem with a clear schedule of this move," he said. "Should no agreement regarding Bethlehem and the prisoner release be achieved, I do not foresee the summit taking place on Tuesday," he added.

WHAT'S ARABIC FOR CHUTZPAH?  IF SHARON HAS ANYTHING LEFT IN HIS TANK, HE'LL SAY, "HOW ABOUT, 'NO!'  DOES THAT WORK FOR YOU?"  THE PALESTINIANS CONTINUE TO MAKE DEMANDS WITHOUT FULFILLING ANY REQUIREMENTS OF THE ROADMAP.  THEY CONTINUE TO DEMAND THAT ISRAEL NEGOTIATE AGAINST ITSELF.  NOW THEY WANT FLOWERS AND A MOVIE IN EXCHANGE FOR TALKING?!?!?!?
