Re: Building on the West Bank and Border talks NP A12 Nov 16th

two points -

First, Obama's U.S. political and security guarantees are worthless. The U.S. is not stopping Iran and they are powerless to stop Hamas and in truth support them through the U.N. U.S.guarantees are only worthless pieces of paper.

Secondly - If the Palestinians really wanted peace, especially setting a border, they would increase talks when Israel builds more housing near Jerusalem, not decrease talks. Building near Jerusalem is all about the border so this is the time it should be discussed. Refusing to talk over border issues shows that Abbas does not want peace and the settlement of the border.
