#88: Wikileaks and Palestinian “Concessions”

January 25, 2011

A recent Wikileaks release was focused on remarkable offers that had been made by “Palestinian” negotiators to the Israelis and which had ostensibly been summarily dismissed by both those negotiators and the U.S..

The leaks paint the negotiators as frustrated, helpless, and desperate. The sub-text seems to be that they were forced (Forced, I say!) into a terrorism they really didn’t want.

The fact that these leaks were published by the anti-semitic British commie rag The Guardian should immediately give one pause, but even beyond that there are questions.

If the Pals were willing to give so many concessions and were so desperate, why did Arafat refuse the ridiculously generous offer made by Barak at Camp David under the Clinton administration?

And if these leaks are truthful, what was the point of undermining the pathetic current U.S. sponsored talks by insisting on a settlement freeze that had never been an issue before (and which was an apparent “give-away” according to the leaks)?

And if the U.S. had such contempt for the Pals, why was Obama publicly dissing Netanyahu?
