Members lookin Posted July 28, 2013 Members Posted July 28, 2013 Tomorrow, so they say, Israeli Justice Minister Tzipi Livni and Palestinian lead negotiator Saeb Erekat will begin peace talks in Washington, the first in three years. I sure didn't see this one coming, and it's a triumph for Secretary of State John Kerry, who's been working diligently for months to get it to happen. He got the Israeli's to release 104 Palestinian prisoners, and he got the Palestinians to drop their demands for a prior Israeli commitment to stop new settlements and to return to pre-1967 borders. Not sure how he did it, but he did it. I won't begin to guess the outcome or how long the talks will last, but I'm sure glad to see them start. Anyone care to offer any predictions? Quote
Members RA1 Posted July 29, 2013 Members Posted July 29, 2013 To state the eternal pessimist point of view: Why go against 66 years of recent history and hundreds and hundreds of years before that? In other words, peace will fail. However, we can all be hopeful. Best regards, RA1 Quote
