Israeli-Palestinian peace talks "show-off, ineffective": Iranian MP

TEHRAN, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) -- The spokesman for the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Kazem Jalali said Sunday that Israel-Palestine peace talks are "show-off and ineffective," the English language satellite Press TV reported.

People talk about the US sticking it's nose into other peoples business. Here is an example of Iran stirring the pot. Both Israel and the Palestinians want these talks to be fruitful but it appears Tehran doesn't like it.

pffft

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian National Authority President Mahmoud Abbas held on Thursday the first round of direct talks in Washington. The two leaders agreed to make efforts to solve all final status issues concerning borders of a new Palestinian state, security, refugees and the future of Jerusalem, within one year as expected by the U.S..

Lets be honest, what does the Iranian government know about running a country, let alone getting along with any other nation?

It seems that Iran does a lot of work sticking their noses into the politics of other countries rather than concentrate on their own.

As far as I am concerned, any talk from the Iranian Government, should be taken with a grain of salt.

ROFLMAO

I was going to post a reply. But I'll let Abbas speak for himself. That's him on the left.

Abbas to Ahmadinejad: Mind Your Own Business

After Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to task for participating in peace talks with Israel, Abbas had a message for Iran: Butt out.

Another round of useless peace talks What shall be the end result of this round I wonder. Although Iran putting their 2 cents in to the issue is funny. Are they worried they may lose a arms customer?

anyone else notice they look like a married couple having issues?


anyhow on a serious note
aslong as Israel continues to build on occupied land and keeps changing demographics of the land, peace talks are kind of pointless

if israel continues to expand settlements into the westbank
how can they expect peace?

reply to post by SLAYER69


The talks ,IMO, will never work with talk like this,

Netanyahu did not elaborate on what new concessions or gestures Israel may be ready to make, but did say that for now his decision to end the self-imposed Jewish building freeze in Judea and Samaria on September 26 "remains unchanged."

And I think many countries stick their nose into other countries' affairs..

Shouldn't that be decided between Israel and the Palestinians and not Tehran or Washington?

The only thing I have noticed, and this is for every world issue, is that all people want to do is TALK.

Talk is cheap. IMO each side knows what it has to do to attain peace and should start showing action to reach that peace.

I'm sure the Rhetoric machine in Tehran is running full steam with BS. Oh wait here is another one. Have your hip-waders? The BS is getting thick.


Tehran Times

“Such talks will resolve the problems neither in Palestine nor the Middle East,” Boroujerdi told IRNA in an interview published on Sunday.

I don't think that either the Palestinians nor Israelis are after a complete answer to all the issues of the ME just some peace in their collective backyards.

Great point. It has to start someplace an having Tehran stirring the pot and sticking their nose in it doesn't help the situation. I think hangedman13 is right. They are afraid of losing arms customers. Or maybe they as do many here believe their own propaganda about how Iran is the Islamic leader in the ME.

the palestinians have already said so
abbas even voiced it before the talks, (concerns about settlements)

also these peace talks dont have all parties so arent really peace talks when half the palestians are left in the dark due to their choice in leadership.

That seems to be about right. Hell people tend to forget that Obama barely got a majority of the US votes.

So basically 50%
Half..

Probably, but I quoted Israel Today..
www.israeltoday.co.il...

IMO, Israel is just buying time through these talks to continue what they have been doing..

I did hear mention of 12 months for any changes..

Thats a long time of continued land grabs..Especially inlight of my above post showing the freeze "will" end on 26th of this month..

Here is a rather good read on the topic.

I think it does a good job putting things in their proper perspective. I can't say I agree with some of it but still an informative read.

Israel/Palestine and Iran Are Not Linked and Should Not Be Linked

reply to post by SLAYER69


I read that and its quite interesting, as are the comments below..

IMO, what links Palistine and Iran is a common foe,Israel..

I think Iran is just sticking up for someone they also see as being threatened by the same country that threatens them..

A "strengh in numbers" position...

Having said that, they are two distinctly different issues and should be treated as such..

reply to post by CynicalM


Thanks for the reply.
I agree they are entirely two different issues and should be treated as such. I think Iran should listen. Butt Out

reply to post by SLAYER69


Actually it seems Tehran is being realistic because the same exact BS talks occured in Washington before, and there was no fruit because the Zionists continue their expansion of settlements until the militarization of the resistance..

And how can talks be fruitful when there is US, Israel and FATAH. They are all in the same side lol.. What about the Palestinians hahahaha, ohh man, that one made me laugh.

Until Israel agrees to get off Palestinian land and retreat in to it's own pre june 1967 borders(which both the international community and Palestine agree on) peace talks are pointless...especially when they are held with fatah for crying out loud.

IMO, thats not quite right...

Israel needs to "freeze" all expansions during peace talks..
I'd accept that, but as I have pointed out, Israel is not even prepared to commit to that!!!

Thats why I said these talks are just to win some time...

Well maybe Egypt, Syria and Jordan with the support of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Tunisia and Sudan learned a lesson that should be shared with Iran about what happens when they attack Israel.

All's fair in love and war?
