Is it time to start the peace process with Israel ?
Abbas and Olmert ; agreement to start negotiationsAfter the few meetings and conferences that were held between Israelis and Palestinians , Abbas and Olmert agreed yesterday to start the negotiations , including negotiations concerning the 'big' issues ( Jerusalem, refugees, etc ).
Will Abbas be able to achieve peace ? Will Olmert ? Will the two governments be able to achieve peace soon ?
Maybe the question is a CAN not a WILL question !
Can Abbas achieve peace ? The answer is NO.
After few months of loosing Gaza to Hamas, and earlier than that loosing the descent representation in the Legislative Council ( for Hamas too ) , Abbas's government , and party ( Fatah ) are in the worst conditions since ever !
More meetings and conferences and visits will soon be revealed, but surely NOTHING will result. The Palestinian leadership is not taking the lead and probably needs a lot of time to handle all the corruption and imbalances in the Palestinian community and organizations. The Palestinian leadership is now in its weakest situations , and the negotiating teams that Abbas is using are not popular, even among Fatah members themselves. In addition , the elections that are taking place now is all Fatah party levels are not done yet, and this means that only after the new elected Fatah leadership is ready, a consensus ( or acceptance ) can be reached.
Starting the talks with Israel will surely be of benefit. USA is the first winner ( a public relations campaign for the government in power ) , then comes Israel, which will be viewed by the international community as a negotiator, not an occupier. The Palestinian people will suffer little bit "LESS" than usual ( as Israel will not do obvious harm ). The only loser is Abbas and his party, no doubt.
I do hope that the peacefull time that we may enjoy during all these useless 'peace talks' will give some results and insight to the Palestinian and Israeli people.
The only threat to this peaceful time is Hamas , if it decides to stop the peace talks through firing more rockets on Sdeirot ( near Gaza ). If Hamas does so , that would be the green light for Israel to start war in Gaza ( and at the same time Peace talks with Abbas in the West-Bank ).

There never was a "Palestine" and there never will be.
As to how it was in the "good old days", the Arabs lived in squalor and the land of Israel was desolate.
Lucky for everyone thatthe nation of Israel, blessed by Allah, has made the desert blossom forthe 1st time in 2000 years.

It is actually quite sad the hatred, bigotry, and damnation left in the comments of this blog. My question for the blogger himself is what can we, those of us not residing anywhere near your location, do to help the conflict? Everyone always says look to the leaders.. but I have found more change can come from a single person more often then not. Especially if that one person can attempt to foster courage and hope in others, until those attempts are begot by others.. soon becoming viral.
I have ideas, but as a poor single American mother I feel that my ideas will be cast aside as if I do not understand what it feels like to be stripped of dignity, or to feel fear, to miss home, to feel you are being watched. In any case I wished there was more I could do, I WANT to do more... but not really sure what I CAN do.
Osaid, I have read your site and would ask if you can help. PeaceInsight is a small British based charity that brings over Palestinian and Israeli teenagers to learn to dialogue together. They stay for 2 weeks. This summer we want to bring back the same group to learn mediation and negotiation skills. I urgently need a Palestinian and Israeli partner. Both partners would have to provide experienced, English speaking facilitators, used to working with teenagers (16-18 years). They would be dealing with the group's issues on the conflict. Also leading sessions on uni-national. Altogether 25 hours of facilitation. PeaceInsight will cover travel, accommodation costs and a modest fee for the facilitators. Can you help? Do you have any contacts?

Mr. Osaid
Sabaah Elxeer- Thank you for your blogsite. I've been looking for various indepedent blogsites who reside in the Palestinian Territories. I too hope that one day your can call this land Palestine again. Simultaneously, I do believe that Israel has a "right" to the land as well. So, possibilities of a two stae solution...what say you? Moreover, can you update with the reality of life in Palestine...meaning, can you create in words a picture of your daily life in occupation in the Palistinian Territories?

Asslamu Alaikum from India,
with very distress heart I have to say Mr.Mahmood Abbas is not a man who can lead Palestine people and he can not be successor to Late Yaser Arafat( Salam to Yaser Arafat)
