Mahmoud Abbas never ceases to amaze me.
Shooting mortars, qassams, grads, upgraded grads, and fajr 5's at Israel is not "peace". Its an action that needs to be acknowledged. Since it's not being acknowledged by the PA, as per their usual policy, I can't see how Israel and this mendacious government can ever engage in a sincere and constructive dialogue.
How many times has america blocked an official palestinian state? How many times has israeli government talked with the fatah party(moderate palestinians) to settle their differences? How many times has syria and jordan been invited?
Or how many times does america veto anything anti-israel?
And you wonder why the PA does not issue statements against Hamas? Just because they are moderates does not make them fools. I am sure they prefer fanatic MUSLIMS over any jew!

I can find you articles from last year too. And the year before it. And the year before it. And the year before it. And from this year. Or you can find by yourself instead of trying to twist your way out.
Anyway - this article is from august 2012 meaning it happened few months ago, unless i just traveled in time.

The Palestinians remind me of the kid sticking his finger or what ever in the fan over and over and then blaming the fan for attacking him . Are the Palestinians that stupid ?
True , but they just want their country back or at the least a bit of it to call Palestine. Not a concentration camp.
The mass abuse of Palestinians at the hands of Arab leaders began with the creation of the Palestinian refugee problem in the War of 1948. Before launching the war, leaders of the invading Arab armies ordered Palestinian Arabs to leave their homes so they could “obliterate every place the Jews seek shelter in”. From then until today, Palestinians refugees have been denied basic rights in almost every Arab country where they have sought shelter, including Lebanon, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Iraq. Libya expelled 30,000 of its Palestinian refugees; Kuwait expelled over 400,000. Yasser Arafat himself said that “What Kuwait did to the Palestinian people is worse than what has been done by Israel to Palestinians in the occupied territories.”
According to the Arab League, the explicit policy of denying Palestinians citizenship in other Arab countries and keeping them in “very bad conditions” is in order “to preserve their Palestinian identity”. An Egyptian foreign minister also openly stated that the intention in demanding the right of Palestinian refugees to return “is the extermination of Israel”.

There never was a country named Palestine. The closest modern Palestinians got to their own country is an autonomy given by genocidal murderous and the rest of it Israel.
And Gaza was not blockaded, Gaza had a naval port and an airport and border corssings - but then some Gazans got a bright idea that firing rockets is the thing to do and then Hamas was voted in by Gaza population and then it proceeded to go down the drain.
This is how Gaza is blockaded now.

Israel and PLO met lots of times with zero result. Refugees issue blocks the process. Israel will never accept return of refugees and Palestinians will never give it up.
Jordan was involved but they cannot do anything about refugee issue too.
Syria has nothing to do with it, there is no peace between Israel and Syria. Only truce.
And just to remind you - PLO officials recieved autonomy over parts of West Bank and Gaza from Israel. Palestinians never ever had any control or autonomy over any part of Palestine or Turkish provinces or whatever.
And Hamas threw PLO out of Gaza by force.
