Direct negotiations between Israel and Palestine have achieved what?

A huge heaping helping of pedantic absolutism?

Squiddly diddly? More hostility and outrage? Never ending armed conflict?

More land for an endless stream of new Jewish migration?

No wonder you want France to simply but out, given what has been achieved thus far, by a kind, generous, benign and forgiving Israel!? And measured by "significant" Israeli progress thus far!

France has zero credibility with regard to arab Israeli relations, zero credibility with regard to ANY middle eastern affairs. Israel would be crazy to have anything to do with any 'international' involvement in their affairs. The UN resolution record regarding Israel is a farcical indication as to its' credibility. As stated, France should 'butt out', it just embarrasses itself.

You forgot the part where the French & the Brits sold out the Arabs in the Sykes-Picot agreement,Israel could have been put anywhere in the world but the shoved it where it was not wanted wonder why.
But they decided to do what the Israeli settlers/IDF do with monotonous regularity steal land, water, murder Palestinians for amusement,drive them their family's out of their Palestinian land,burn the trees
But that's all fine to Dave and his masters the settlements are illegal Dave if it OK for you to applaud the foundation of Israel by the UN, then abuse it because it when it tried to stop the illegal settlements.
Trying to have your cake and eat it to methinks

Your hatred John Ryan certainly proves that you are incapable of thinking logically. Thank God we now have Trump who won't listen to your revised history and leftist lies when it comes to Israel.

Interesting events with the Kiwi's this week and the UN resolution to stop settlement building that Obama did not veto, but not that Israel would listen or obey anyway.
You have to give the Kiwi's a pat on the back for standing up for whats right.

"By voting 'yes' in favour of this resolution, you have in fact voted 'no'. You voted 'no' to negotiations. You voted 'no' to progress, and a chance for better lives for Israelis and Palestinians. And you voted 'no' to the possibility of peace," he said.

Negotiations are a slow noose, do they think people are dumb?

Armchair

Yes - it goes on and one for a further century?
