"Palestinian prime minister urges deadline for peace deal" by Karin Laub/Associated Press November 4, 2007
RAMALLAH, West Bank -With continued expansion of Israeli settlements... and more than 12,000 Palestinian prisoners... prospects for a two-state solution are getting dimmer every day.
On Friday, about 300 Palestinian officers were deployed in Nablus, the West Bank's most chaotic city, chosen by Fayyad as a test case for his security plan. In recent months, his government also closed Hamas-linked charities, many of them in Nablus, and has tried to dry up funds with regulations against money-laundering.
Fayyad has not been able to win Israeli guarantees that the Israeli military will halt its frequent arrest raids in Nablus, a Hamas stronghold, but said he moved ahead with an imperfect deal because he felt the need to start somewhere. Israel says it's too early to rely on Palestinian security forces alone.
They are never going to rely on Palestinians.
Once Hamas has been liquidated, the Israelis are going to turn on Fatah!
Wake up, dumb-dumb Palestinians!
If the Nablus experiment is a success, Fayyad hopes to deploy forces in more West Bank towns.
David Baker, an Israeli government spokesman, asked yesterday about a possible release of prisoners and removal of checkpoints, said the issues were being reviewed."
What about those American students being held hostage by Israel?
What happened to that story?
And what do you tell the woman in this picture, readers?
What do you tell her?
