Another day, another blow to Obama’s fantasy foreign policy.

Well who could have seen this coming?
Obama’s Palestinian peace partners announced this weekend that they will never recognize Israel.
The Jerusalem Post reported:
The Fatah Revolutionary Council concluded its fifth convention in Ramallah over the weekend by declaring its refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish state.
The council also urged the Palestinian Authority leadership to work toward foiling a new Israeli law requiring a referendum before any withdrawal from Jerusalem and the Golan Heights that has not been passed by two thirds of the Knesset.
The Palestinians are opposed to any understandings between Israel and the US that could harm their interests, the council said.
“The council affirms its rejection of the so-called Jewish state or any other formula that could achieve this goal,” said a statement issued by the council.
“The council also renews its refusal for the establishment of any racist state based on religion in accordance with international law and human rights conventions.”
Abbas made a similar statement back in September. In July Abbas said the Palestinians were ready to wage war on Israel.

Is the ‘Won’ acting as an intermediary? So the peace solution does not include Israel existing? Do you think that’s a show stopper?
picturerock commented:
Honestly, the only reason there is still an Israeli/Palestinian conflict is that one side or the other has not been allowed to “win” the conflict. If Abbas wants war, then the parties should just slug it out, with a winner take all, like wars used to be decided.

Dear Mr. Obama,
A word in your shell-like ear. Peace happens when both sides of the argument want peace. You have staked your fortunes on a man who does not want peace. Ergo, you also want no peace, or you are a fool. Those are the only two possibilities. Which is it?

Nobody tell Pakistan.
Andreas K. commented:
And the Fatah are supposed to be the “moderates”, compared to Hamas.
StanInTexas commented:
The Palestinians have had multiple offers of their own state and they have rejected each and every one of them; all because their goal is not a state of their own but the destruction of Israel.

Re. RedBeard
These two choices are not mutually exclusive…
BBC commented:
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, speaking through official channel Julian Assange, informed Obama and Hillary that their plans in the Middle East have always been nutso.
Gil Palmer commented:
I guess that means Abbas rejects every Muslim country as not legitimate based on their racist policies and governments. including his own racist positions.
what a hypocrite!!
GAP
RedBeard commented:
Marek, you’re right that the two needn’t be mutually exclusive.
Sadly, that applies to a great deal that Obama does.
USMC Thomas commented:
I’d rather have American forces in Israel than Afghanistan or Iraq.
Lenore commented:
That photo is pitiful. Look at the face on the Terrorist states face, now look at Obama’s mug. That picture tells the entire story of Obama’s foreign policy.
Lenore commented:
Agreed USMC
jomojava the infidel commented:
Gil #9,
You must remember that:
1) Only Christians and Jews can be racist
2) Only the USA and Israel can be guilty of violating international law and human rights conventions
It is not possible for peace-loving mooselimbs to be guilty of either. NASA said so.
Retro commented:
obozo needs to understand that going against Israel he’s playing with fire.
gus commented:
Lenore. Obama looks like a boy seeking his Daddies approval. That is IRONY. The boy who would be King sitting with a hard core Muzztard, hoping to be approved of.
P. Aaron commented:
Peace in Middle East = BS
Does any one really think that ‘peace’ is the objective here? With ‘Peace’, HAMAS, the Hezbo’s & the PLA lose out on all that cash from the UN and the West. They’d have to establish governments and set up electric grids, sewer lines, schools (haha!) & cable TV networks along with trash collection.
The terror leaders prefer the nice dinners, 1st class air travel and fancy hotels while their useful idiots conduct the proxy war. They don’t want to be ministers & bureaucrats. REAL Peace derails the gravy train.
The USA & Israel should walk away from this non-existent ‘peace’ table. The effect-reaction of that would be demonstrative.

Exactly. It’s the only way.
Why do you think the Palis latched on to the bogus “housing moratorium in East Jerusalem” canard. People who sincerely want peace will seek peace. I don’t see much “ridin’ on the Peace Train” by Palis. (*apologies to Cat Stevens. Well, not really . . .)
BigAlSouth commented:
I gots me a “Peace Train” Jones!
Now I’ve been crying lately,
thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating,
why can’t we live in bliss
Cause out on the edge of darkness,
there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country,
come take me home again

When the LeftTards take full control, Jews gwt slaughtered.
Why the f^ck American Jews vote DemoCrap is beyond comprehension.
S. Wolf commented:
On the bright side, Hamas is not very nice to Fatah..
How Hamas deals with Fatah in Gaza
Maybe they’ll kill each other off and Israel will have peace.
Redwine commented:
I hope this will finally put an end to the phony dog-and-pony show called the “Peace Process”.
Joanne commented:
If someone has the audacity to think another people does not exist, then I would be prone to having the audacity to think that they do not exist either.
jorgen commented:
Good, then the “Peace Process” can rest in peace.
