Olmert's Latest Excuse for Rejecting Peace

The hypocrisy and contradiction is mind-boggling.

Where is the media???

Israeli Prime Minister says no peace with Hamas in control of Gaza

(Ignoring, of course, that Hamas was democratically-elected, and a failed US-israeli sponsored Coup attempt caused Hamas to takeover the Strip. Does this mean the Palestinians don't have to abandon their Resistance until Zionist Extremists no longer control Israel - and the Occupied Territories?)

The Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert announced Tuesday that Israel would not have peace with the Palestinian Authority as long as the democratically-elected Hamas government holds power in the Gaza Strip.

(But they had no peace before Hamas was elected, so what's the difference? Olmert seems to come up with a new excuse every day to justify his Government's outright rejection of peace.)

The Israeli government, along with the U.S. government, supports the other, unelected government of the Palestinians, led by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. That unelected government is currently in power in the second of the two Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories, the West Bank.

(So what? This only highlights the hypocrisy of everything the US and Israel say.)

Olmert made the declaration after meeting with the Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on Tuesday, in preparation for a "peace summit" with Mahmoud Abbas next week.

(This is not a peace summit. It's PR.)

Mubarak verified that Egypt would not support a separation between the two Palestinian territories. "Hamas and Fatah have some problems," Mubarak said. "We can't say how there can be a Palestinian state with a separate Gaza. It has to be one state and this will take time."

(This old Colonial Trick is referred to as "Divide & Rule" ...)

The Israeli Prime Minister called on the Palestinian Authority under Mahmoud Abbas to implement its obligations under the Roadmap plan for peace, including both the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian Authority, as well as British observers, have accused Israel of preventing Abbas' security forces from deploying in the northern West Bank, and undermining the security forces' effectiveness by regularly invading and attacking Palestinian towns and cities that are supposed to be under the Palestinian Authority's control.
