Mahmoud Abbas’ 7 Preposterous Demands To Resume Negotiations

grumpy abbas1Yesterday, Israel said the fourth round of the NYT Islamic terror whitewash material palestinian prisoner release won’t happen, and so the tenth “It’s now or never” peace talks ended in failure. We’ve already had three batches of murderous palestinians released, and we received nothing in return.

So now Abbas has made a new set of demands – just to resume negotiations.

  1. Written message from Netanyahu recognizing the 1967 armistice lines as Palestine’s borders, with East Jerusalem as its Capital.
  2. Release 1200 Palestinian prisoners, including Marwan Barghouti, Fuad Shubaki and Ahmad Saadat.
  3. Lift the siege on Gaza.
  4. Grant amnesty and bring back the Palestinians deported after the Church of the Nativity siege.
  5. Stop settlement construction and institution building in occupied Jerusalem, and grant free access.
  6. Allow 15000 Palestinian reunification with families and grant them Israeli citizenship.
  7. Give PA complete control over Area C, and stop military operations and arrests in Areas A and B.

Reality check, these demands, which are “final status” matters, are what Abbas is demanding Israel do JUST TO RESUME TALKS.

I wonder what his actual peace talks demands are? That all Israelis take a long swim in the sea?

  1. You are absolutely right, Dan. The Palestinians are the main obstacle to peace, not the Israelis. This is not made clear by most of our media most of the time. Thanks for doing your part in setting the record straight.

    Abbas’s ploy might work if Kerry weren’t such a serial bungler. Abbas does not want a settlement because that means he would have to take actual responsibility for governing. Instead, send him off to Switzerland to be next to his money.

  3. So basically Israel has to release terrorists, give land, give financial support, stop building in Israel, obviously recognize and create a new terrorist state in return for a peace treaty with the leader one section of Fraudestine that the Terroristinians don’t have to keep, and they can shoot rockets and kill/kidnap Jews while the treaty is being signed.

    This must be some treaty

    1. let me correct your post, Ken: Israel has to release MORE terrorists, give MORE land, and give CONTINUED AND EVER-LARGER financial support.

      1. You both forgot the bits about letting Palestinians move into Israel, give the PA control over the areas of the WB that (in accordance with the Oslo Accords) Israel controls until a final status agreement is signed, refuse to allow Israel into Areas A or B to pursue terrorists (another violation of the Oslo Accords).

  4. As Benny Morris pointed out,
    In Abbas racist Holocaust denying book from the 80s, Abbas declared that the gas chambers were never used to murder Jews and dismissed as a “fantastic lie” that six million Jews had died in the Holocaust; at most, he wrote, “890,000” Jews were killed by the Germans. And they were killed, Abbas wrote, in part as a result of Zionist provocation orchestrated by Ben-Gurion from 1942. Or, as he put it: “The Zionist movement led a broad campaign of incitement against the Jews living under Nazi rule, in order to arouse the government’s hatred of them, to fuel vengeance against them, and to expand the mass extermination.” All of this was designed somehow to facilitate the victory of Zionism.

  5. I suppose the only possible way Israel would accede to these demands is if they got a Barak Hussein clone as a leader. Even then the palestinians would say no and demand more.

  6. Does Abbas’ main advisor moonlight at the Onion?

    Seriously, I had a hard time believing this wasn’t satire. Look, they got what they wanted. Countless murderers went free and the basic principle that Jewish blood is not cheap, but entirely worthless, was established. I still would like to know why Netanyahu agreed to the other parts. Are we really in a situation where are leaders are not allowed to tell us why they do things?

    These sort of poison pill demands have been seen before. One example is Rome’s final demand from Carthage. Another is the Czar’s final demand from the Volozhin Yeshiva. Basically, you give a set of demands so preposterous that no-one could accept them.

  7. Netanyahu must say “No!” That’s what he should have said AND STUCK TO from the very beginning and not go along with the bullshit that Abbas is a “peace partner” and the US has the right to dictate terms to Israel which ignores Israel’s sovereignty! THERE IS NO “PEACE PROCESS”; THERE NEVER WAS!!! The only time when Israel was given respect was when she kicked ass like in 1967 when the war was won in six days. Then, in less than 24 hours, Dayan gave away the Temple Mount!!!! By doing anything for peace, Israel also gave away her respect and standing from both other countries as well as too many Israelis.
