ByAvi Issacharoff

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has been dropping hints that he will leave his post in September should negotiations with Israel not resume by then, and should there be no agreement about the establishment of a Palestinian state.

During a meeting in Ramallah with members of the Council for Peace and Security (who include former top IDF officers ), Abbas declared that the PA intends to work toward the establishment of a Palestinian state, and to win Israeli recognition for such a state. However, he indicated, if no accord is reached between the two sides, and if serious talks do not resume, the PA will turn to the UN General Assembly in September and request recognition of an independent Palestinian state.

Asked about possible scenarios following such a UN vote, Abbas claimed he is deliberately maintaining ambiguity on this issue. Yet, he said, "should we return [from the United Nations] empty-handed, we will convene a meeting of the Palestinian leadership and decide what to do. We have autonomous rule, but we don't have independence. There is and isn't occupation. The [Israeli occupiers] can come at any moment. They can invade our territories. They can do anything. They can even stop me, as head of the PA, from going home."

"So what are we supposed to do?" he asked. "What should be our answer, if we have lost all hope? I can't respond to that."

Abbas reiterated that the PA will only turn to the UN General Assembly if it runs out of all other options.

"If you [Israelis] do not want negotiations, and don't want an accord, then what are we supposed to do?" he said. "We have imposed order and security here for the past four years, and things are stable now: There is law and order, the economy is progressing, life is normal everywhere in the West Bank. Please, you must take advantage of the opportunity to continue [with talks]. If [the Israelis] don't want [talks], then we will leave. We will leave."

When asked by Haaretz whether he means by these statements that the Palestinian Authority will be disassembled, Abbas responded that he did not say that. He clarified that under the present circumstances, the question "why continue this way" is asked repeatedly.

Yet again, zionists in this talkback are criticizing Abbas and spittingout their hatred against arabs and their intention not to have peace.Stop bringing up the PAST! If you keep living in the past, nothing willbe achieved! In the Second World War 50 MILLION PEOPLE died, yet therewas peace, the parties stopped blaming the others for starting the war!The Pals will establish a state, let's see how it turns out to be. Dontprejudge it from now saying it will attack Israel. The day the israelisand palestinians stop blaming each other is the day they will achievepeace. Now that there is an opportunity for peace, Abbas clearlyoffers negotiations with Israel. Now, it's up to Israel to show us ifits really interested in peace or not.

Abbas is saying that if he doesn't get what he wants, he will letterrorism return. Does he really not understand that that is terrorismin itself? This flopping back and forth between a facade of reason oneday and irrational threats (and actions) the next is exactly why Israelcan't over the West Bank; two minutes after it withdraws, it could finda new, larger, worse Gaza on its eastern border. Until the Palestiniansrenounce their Hamas wing and their long record of aggression, andcredibly commit themselves to long term peace, Israel would be mad totake the risk.

There is no evidence the current Israeli government intends to allow orrecognize an independent or sovereign Palestine ever. And Abbas meansthat by leaving, quitting his job, not departing for another country.It might be easier if the 2.5 million Palestinians in the West bank,just submit the paperwork for Israeli citizenship and the vote now. Andfold their security forces since tranquility just means fastersettlement building and faster land theft. Close the schools and layoff the police and fire and close the hospitals. let the occupation bepaid for by the Israeli government in its entirety and stop beingsurrogate occupiers receiving EU and US assistance. And toss out UNRWA,it absorbs Israeli costs.

29.00View >Aside from their problems with Hamas, the PA has fulfilled much oftheir Road Map obligations... Smadar 31.03.11 06:19

and Israel can't really claim that it has committed to the Quartet's (EU, Russia, UN, USA) peace proposal of the Road Map. The only peaceproposal on the table which is under an international sponsored peaceplan for the Middle East is the Road Map of 2004. The PA was pressuredto abide to the terms of this proposal for the creation of a sovereign,independent Palestinian state. It's highly unlikely that theinternational community will not endorse a Palestinian state based onthe 1967 borders with minor territorial exchanges because that's thepremise of that peace proposal.

Don't delude yourself. Palestinians will never go "back" toJordan, because they never came from Jordan in the first place. Theywere born West of the river just like all their known ancestors, andthey will remain in Palestine, their homeland, whatever you say, stateor no state. So the question is: do you want them to have their ownstate, or do you want them to become Israeli citizens with full rights?Those are the only two options.

Happy upcoming 63rd Birthday Israel! We're glad you earlier accepted tohumbly establish a Jewish State in the sliver of the land allotted toyou and didn't proclaim a bloody, covetous war and massacre against thePalestinians on the order of the Crusades, as did your jealous enemiesagainst you when they gambled greatly and lost as G-d blessed you andcursed them as a witness to the world. Now the stubborn, losing sidewants yet another handout from the UN, this time the collective turningback of the clock to June 4th, 1967 when Jerusalem was scarred anddivided so they can establish a Palestinian State in that area of landthat wasn't at all appealing for them at that time, especially whenconquering the whole land seemed like a more lofty goal and a muchbetter idea to jump start prosperity and prestige. Abbas, you haven'teven started to use your UN leverage to budge Jerusalem but when you tryand do, you'll all receive such a collective physical and spiritualstrain in your backs that you'll be seeking medical help, but it won'tbe forthcoming.

Of course peace talks will fail. Netanyahu wants to be Prime Ministerand if he makes the slightest effort to pursue peace he will be deposedby his supporters as he was a decade ago. The desperation comes whenAbbas asks for the UN to do what the USA will veto. The United Stateswill NEVER support a free and independent Palestine anymore than Israelwill.

As an American Citizen let me tell you that more and more Americans areunderstanding how Israel has been treating the Palestinians and nolonger listening to APAC and Israels propaganda about 'sharing values'and all freedom fighters being called terrorists etc. etc. We willslowly eliminate the APAC 'bought' members of out government. ThenIsrael will be forced to really share values with the US as in justice.

He's riding a wave right now, and if it crests - which indications arethat it will - there's nothing the US can do to stop it. It 'might' beinclined to stop a UNSC vote that would seek to enforce it - IF itreally wanted to - but that would be devastating to its internationalimage, don't you think?

Israel can always count on America to bail them out in a crisis.Unfortunately Israel has chosen to ride the settlement pony until itdrops. There will likely be some surprises in the future for Israel.

Everybody can see the disaster approaching. And even if Netanyahuprefers to dream about a nicer reality, his partner Ehud Barak hasalready shouted in his ears (and ours) that this will be a politicalTsunami: Come September, the UN will recognize a Palestinian state inthe 1967 borders. After this, it will become extremely hard to acceptother borders, subject only to minor territorial exchanges. Israel willresist of course, but will slowly become a pariah state as a result(except possibly in the US where the process will be slower). It is soeasy for Israel to act now and avoid the terrible consequences! AllIsrael needs to do is to stop settlements activity now (for the next 6months only), and negotiate borders with Abbas. Notice that nobody, noteven the US, pressures Abbas to give up the demand of stopping thesettlement activity: It is justified by international law (againstsettling an occupied territory), and is simple common sense: You cannotnegotiate dividing the pizza while one side keeps eating it. ButNetanyahu is a political coward of unusual proportions. He is afraid ofthe settlers, a small minority, and of the extremists in Likud. Betterremember that after Sharon removed the settlers from Gaza, hispopularity soared and he was expected to win over 40 seats in theKnesset. Well, perhaps Netanyahu is afraid that Heaven will punish himby putting him into a coma...
