Discussion for article #239846
What’s the typical historical evidence on whether official renunciation of violence precedes successful negotiations or follows them?
Israeli negotiation tactic: “The beatings will continue until moral improves.”
Yeah. That will work.
Thought-provoking information. Thanks for the article.

So it’s okay for Netanyahu to negotiate with Hamas but not okay for Obama to talk to Iran? Got it.

what a goddamn clusterfuck. It drives me up the wall whenever some Israel fanboy or fangirl starts pushing the “Israel good, Palestinians bad” propaganda. The entire thing is hopelessly complicated, carefully-nurtured grudges going back years and decades all around, radicals on all sides who are all too happy to destroy any sort of peace agreement for their own exceedingly narrow aims, and absolutely nobody is honorable nor has clean hands in the whole mess. At least the Israelis have proven they can govern themselves while the Palestinians probably couldn’t get their shit together long enough to govern so much as an HOA properly.
It’s funny how much easier it is when you have Uncle Sugar on your side, isn’t it?
Gosh, I wonder who Chuck Schumer and AIPAC will want America to start a war with now?
